The SiH$_4$soak step is widely used to prevent the WF$_{6}$ attack to the underlayer metal using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Reduction or skipping of the SiH$_4$soak process time if lead to optimizing W-plug deposition process on via. The electrical characteristics including via resistance and the structure of W-film are affected by the time of SiH$_4$soak process. The possibility of elimination of SiH$_4$soak process is confirmed In the case of W- film grown on the stable Ti/TiN underlayer.

The $SiH_4$ soak step is widely used during the CVD Tungsten(W) plug deposition process on the Ti/TiN barrier metal to prevent the $WF_6$ attack to the underlayer metal. We tried to reduce or skip the time of $SiH_4$ soak process to optimize W-plug deposition process on Via. The electrical characteristics including Via resistance and the structure of W film are affected according to $SiH_4$ soak time. The elimination possibility of $SiH_4$ soak process was confirmed in the case of that the CVD W film grows on the stable Ti/TiN underlayer.
