Abstract

The interaction of Al and W in the Si/SiO2/W-Ti/Al thin film system is studied quantitatively by glancing angle x-ray diffraction. The formation of Al-W compounds due to annealing is monitored by the variation of the integrated intensity from a few x-ray diffraction peaks of the corresponding compounds. The annealing was conducted at 400°C, 450°C and 500°C from 1 hour to 300 hours. The kinetics of compound formation is determined using x-ray diffraction data and verified by TEM observations. We will also show the correlation of the compound formation to the change of the electrical properties of these films.
