Abstract

Ag/Ti bilayer films deposited on silicon dioxide substrates were annealed in ammonia ambient in the temperature range of 400 - 600 °C. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) have shown that Ti segregates to both the surface to form a TiN(O) layer and to the Ti/SiO 2 interface to form a Ti-oxide/Ti-silicide bilayer. The annealed bilayer structure had minimal Ti accumulations in Ag. Resistivity values of approximately 2 μΩ-cm were obtained in encapsulated Ag bilayer films, which are comparable to that of the as-deposited. X-ray analysis confirmed the absence of intermetallic phase transformation.
