The low pressure chemical vapor deposition of Cu was investigated on TiN substrates that had been locally seeded with thin Cu layers. These Cu layers were 5Å, 40Å and 130Å thick and had been produced by PIB (Partially Ionized Beam) deposition. The growth rate and the XRD peak intensity ratio (I(111)/I(200)) of CVD-Cu increased somewhat in the case of Cu seeded TiN/Si substrates compared with as-received TiN/Si substrate. At the deposition temperature of 200°C, Cu film deposited on the 40Å seeded substrate had the lowest electrical resistivity value, 2.42 μ Ω cm that is as high as 1.5 times the bulk copper value. In adhesion test, as the seeding thickness increased from 0Å to 130Å, the adhesion strength increased from 21 N to 27 N.
