New Pt/Ti and hi/Ti double-metal structures have been investigated for the application of a diffusion barrier between Cu and Si in deep submicron integrated circuits. Pt/Ti and Ni/Ti were deposited using E-beam evaporator at room temperature. The performance of Pt/Ti and Ni/Ti structures as diffusion barrier against Cu diffusion was examined by charge pumping method, gate leakage current, junction leakage current, and SIMS(secondary ion mass spectroscopy). These evaluation indicated that Pt/Ti(200${\AA}$/100${\AA}$) film is a good barrier against Cu diffusion up to 450$^{\circ}C$.
