Tungsten deposition

Tungsten (W) can be deposited by e-beam evaporation. It requires very high temperature to evaporate, so it is at the performance limit of the 6 kW power supplies of our systems. This means the deposition rate is limited. Additionally, the chamber (and substrate) will get hot during deposition despite water cooling, and this means the pressure rises during the deposition as the chamber is baked out. It is therefore not easy to deposit films much thicker than 50-60 nm. Talk to staff when you want to deposit W (write to thinfilm@danchip.dtu.dk). In the chart below you can compare the deposition equipment.

General description E-beam evaporation of W E-beam evaporation of W

Comments Substrate gets hot during deposition

(for a 60 nm film it rose above 123 C)

* For thicknesses above 20 nm talk to staff (write to thinfilm@danchip.dtu.dk), as the heat and subsequent pressure rise means the deposition needs to be carried out in steps.
