Ion Mixing of Ti and TiO(y) Films on SiO(x)
Abstract:
The influence of ion implantation on the interfacial chemistry, morphology, and adhesion of Ti and TiOy films on Siox was examined. The TiSiOx and TiOySiOx specimens were implanted with varying doses of 84Kr at different substrate temperatures 2 x 10 to the 16th Krsq. cm at 70 C, 1 x 10 to the 17th Krsq. cm. at 70 C, and 1 x 10 to the 17th Krsq. cm. at 350 C. These 84Kr- implanted specimens were compared to specimens vacuum annealed at 1000 C for 3600 s. Ion implantation intermixed interfacial Ti, Si, and O in both the Ti SiOx and TioySiox specimens, producing interfacial Ti-Si oxide layers.
