Abstract
Cobalt (Co) thermal or plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD)was investigated using a novel metal organic precursor, Co(MeCp)2, and NH3 or H2 or their plasma as a reactant. The growth characteristics, electrical and microstructural properties were investigated. Especially, PE-ALD produced Co thin films at low growth temperature down to 100 °C. Interestingly, the low temperature growth of Co films showed the formation of columnar structure at substrate temperature below 300 °C. The growth characteristics and films properties of PE-ALD Co using bis(η-methylcyclopentadienyl) Co(II) (Co(MeCp)2) was compared with those of PE-ALD Co using other Cp based metal organic precursors, bis-cyclopentadienyl cobalt (II) (CoCp2) and cyclopentadienyl isopropyl acetamidinato-cobalt (Co(CpAMD)).
