Abstract

Thin films of tungsten grown in a CVD reactor by the reduction of hydrogen and silane consisted of a two phase microstructures; a matrix phase of bcc tungsten, and a second phase of W20O58. The second phase is uniformly distributed in the film and does not afeoct 5athe electrical resistivity of hydrogenreduced films (8 μohm-cm). However, dissolved oxygen in the silane-reduced film contributes to the observed higher electrical resistivity (13 μohm-cm) along with smaller grain size. The larger amount of oxide in the hydrogen-reduced film correlates with its slower growth rate when compared to the silane-reduced film which contained a smaller amount of oxide phase.
