Abstract

See full text

The properties of a diffusion barrier material layer over a semiconductor substrate are enhanced in a simple and time-effective manner by immersing the substrate in an oxidizing liquid. For a titanium-tungsten barrier metal, a dip in nitric acid for 1-60 minutes provides the metal with an oxide layer of the right thickness of 10-20 .ANG..
