Tungsten deposition

Tungsten (W) can be deposited by e-beam evaporation and sputtering. However, in case of evaporation the precess generates a lot of heat (despite water cooling), and this means the pressure rises as the chamber is baking out. It is therefore not easy to deposit films much thicker than 50-60 nm. In the Temescal we stopped the deposition every 20 nm to let the pressure drop. Also, the rate needs to be low, to avoid overheating. Talk to staff when you want to deposit W (write to thinfilm@nanolab.dtu.dk). Sputtering can be used without any sufficient issues. In the chart below you can compare the deposition equipment.

Comments Substrate gets hot during deposition

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

Deposition rate is 0.083 nm/s for 150W and 3mTorr Deposition rate is 0.083 nm/s for 150W and 3mTorr

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