As the device geometry continuously shrink down less than sub-quarter micrometer, DRAM makers are going to replace conventional tungsten-polycide with tungsten bit-line structure in order to reduce the chip size and use it as a local interconnection. In this paper we showed low resistance and leakage tungsten bit-line process with various RTP(Rapid Thermal Process) temperature. As a result we obtained that major parameters impact on tungsten bit-line process are RTP Anneal temperature and BF2 ion implantation dopant. These tungsten bit-line process are promising to fabricate high density chip technology.

Tungsten film was deposited on the TiN surface in a low pressure chemical vapor deposition reactor and chemical reaction mechanism between TiN surface and ($WF_{6}\;and\;SiH_{4}$ was studied. Interaction of ($WF_{6}\;or\;SiH_{4}$ with TiN surface and tungsten was deposited more easily. $WF_6$ reacted with TiN activated the TiN surface to form volatile TiF_4$ and tungsten nuclei were formed. ($SiH_{4}$ was dissociated on the TiN surface to form silicon nuclei. From RBS and AES analysis, we could not detect the impurities(such as Si or TiF$_x$)at the interface between tungsten and TiN. The adhesion at the W/TiN interface became poor when the deposition temperature was below 275$^{\circ}C$.

Thermal management technology is a critical element in all new chip generations, caused by a power multiplication combined with a size reduction. A heat sink, mounted on a base plate, requires the use of special materials possessing both high thermal conductivity (TC) and a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that matches semiconductor materials as well as certain packaging ceramics. In this study, nano tungsten coated copper powder has been developed with a wide range of compositions, 90W-10Cu to 10W-90Cu. Powder technologies were used to make samples to evaluate density, TC, and CTE. Measured TC lies among theoretical values predicted by several existing models.

This study aims to investigate the effects of tungsten additions on the microstructure, corrosion characteristics, and hardness of super duplex stainless steel heat-treated at two different annealing temperatures. Under the annealing temperature of 1100℃, the microstructure of the stainless steels consisted mainly of ferrite, while under the annealing temperature of 1000℃, significant amounts of austenite and secondary phases were also observed. In terms of corrosion characteristics in 3.5 wt%NaCl solution, there was not a significant difference due to W addition at the 1100℃ conditions. However, at the 1000℃, a tendency of decreased corrosion resistance was observed with increasing the tungsten content. On the other hand, the micro-hardness of the stainless steel heat-treated 1000℃ showed an increasing trend with tungsten addition. This increase can be mainly attributed to the higher fraction of secondary phases, primarily sigma, known for their high hardness.

The synergistic effect of ZrC nanoparticle pining and Re solution in W matrix on the thermal stability of tungsten was studied by investigating the evolution of the microstructure, hardness and tensile properties after annealing in a temperature range of 1000-1700 ℃. The results of metallography, electron backscatter diffraction pattern and Vickers micro-hardness indicate that the rolled W-1wt%Re-0.5 wt% ZrC alloy has a higher recrystallization temperature (1600 ℃-1700 ℃) than that of the rolled pure W (1200 ℃), W-0.5 wt%ZrC (1300 ℃), W-0.5 wt%HfC (1400-1500 ℃) and W-K-3wt%Re alloy fabricated by the same technology. The molecular dynamics simulation results indicated that solution Re atoms in W matrix can slow down the self-diffusion of W atoms and form dragging effect to delay the growth of W grain, moreover, the diffusion coefficient decrease with increasing Re content. In addition, the ZrC nanoparticles can pin the grain boundaries and dislocations effectively, preventing the recrystallization. Therefore, synergistic effect of solid solution Re element and dispersed ZrC nanoparticles significantly increase recrystallization temperature.

We presented Tungsten and Tungsten Nitride thin films deposited by RF and DC sputtering. It deposited at various conditions that determining the resistivity and sheet resistivity by stabilizing the basic theory. We investigated properties of the resistivity and sheet resistivity of these films under various conditions, temperature of substrate, flow rate of the argon gas and content of nitrogen from nitrogen-argon mixtures. As the temperature of substrate increased and the flow rate of the argon gas decreased, the resistivities of these films reduced by structural transformation. We found that these resistivities were depend on the temperature of substrate, flow rate and electric power. Very highly resistive tungsten films obtained at 10W RF power. On the contrary, we found that films deposited by DC sputtering, from which very lowly resistive tungsten films were obtained. Tungsten nitride thin films deposited by reactive DC sputtering and the resistivities of these films increased as the content of nitrogen gas increased from nitrogen-argon mixture. And also we found the results show very good agreement, compared with experimental data.

Reactive sputtering 방법으로 증착된 tungsten nitride ($(WN_x)$) 박막에 대해 $N_2$ 유량비 변화에 따르는 구조, 화학결합, 그리고 비저항 값의 변화를 조사하였다. $(WN_x)$ 박막 증착시 $N_2$ 유량비를 20%, 40%, 60%로 늘려감에 따라 그 구조는 각각 bcc $\beta$-W상, 비정질상, 그리고 fcc W$_2$N상으로 변화하였으며, 비정질상이 형성되었을 때 박막 표면이 가장 평탄하였다. $(WN_x)$ 박막이 공기 중에 노출된 경우, 모든 시료 표면에서 $WO_3$ 산화물이 형성되었으며, $N_2$유량비가 증가할수록 $(WN_x)$ 박막내 N의 조성비가 증가하였고, W $4f_{7/2}$ peak가 높은 binding energy 쪽으로 이동하였다. 하지만 시료표면을 $Ar^+$ 이온으로 etching한 후에는 WNx 박막 표면이 비정질화되기 때문에 N의 조성비가 변화함에도 불구하고 $W4f_{7/2}$ / peak가 거의 변화하지 않았다. 박막의 비저항 값은 $N_2$ 유량비가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다.

이 논문에서는 반도체의 기판으로 사용되는 Si(silicon)기판과 금속배선 물질인 Cu(copper)의 확산을 효과적으로 방지하기 위한 W(Tungsten)-C(Carbon)-N(Nitrogen) 확산방지막을 제시하였고, 시료 증착을 위하여 rf magnetron sputter를 사용하여 동일한 증착조건에서 질소(N)의 비율을 다르게 증착한 후 시료의 열적 안정성 측정을 위하여 상온에서 $800^{\circ}C$까지 각각 질소 분위기에서 30분간 열처리 과정을 실시하여 열적 손상을 인가하였다. 이후 Nanoindentation 기법을 이용하여 총 16 points에서 Elastic modulus와 Weibull distribution을 측정하였다. 그 결과 질화물질이 고온에서 물성변화가 적게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었고, 온도변화에 따른 박막의 균일도와 결정성 또한 질화물질에서 더 안정적이었다.

This study demonstrates the diffusion bonding process between a tungsten carbide shank (K30) and tungsten carbide (DX5) for micro WC-PCD tool fabrication. A type of nickel alloy was used as the filler met alto improve the bond ability between K30 and DX5. The bonding pressure, time, and surrounding conditions were kept constant. In particular, the normal pressure was controlled precisely under buckling analysis. Diffusion bonding was performed at various operation temperatures (1170-1770 K) by using a specially designed jig. The microstructure on the localized bonded surface was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. In the case of diffusion bonding of WCat 1370-1770K, the filler metal melted completely and diffused between the two base metals, and they were bonded more tightly on both sides than at temperatures below 1370 K. Our results demonstrated the importance of sensitive temperature dependence of diffusion bonding.
