Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a conductive structure for use in semiconductor devices. The structure can be used to interconnect the various diffusion regions or electrodes of devices formed on a processed semiconductor substrate to a layer of metal, to interconnect overlying layers of metal or to provide the gate electrode of an FET device formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate. Various embodiments of the invention are described, but in broad form the active metallurgy of the present invention comprises a thin continuous layer to titanium--titanium nitride and a thick layer of a refractory metal, e.g. tungsten, overlying the titanium nitride layer.
