Confidence is contagious. And, Jimmy Neal is hoping it spreads over his team like a case of a winter cold.
It seems like forever since the Camden High volleyball team did not have someone waiting in the wings who was ready to step in and become the Lady Bulldogs' 'go-to' player.
All Jimmy Neal was missing was the top hat, vest, spats on his shoes and a cigar dangling from his mouth.
Jimmy Neal is not a big believer in a team which has one full game under its belt having the advantage over one which is making its season debut.
Having been on Cheraw's side of the field so often in the first half that the Camden offense could have claimed squatters' rights, the Bulldogs had only a 7-0 lead to show for it at halftime of Friday's season opener at Zemp Stadium.
One of the perks in playing a week zero game is that sometime during the season, your team gets a week off to heal up and coaches can work out any kinks. One of the pratfalls of an early opener is the lack of information on your opponent.
Redemption, thy name is the 2013 edition of the Camden Bulldogs' football team.
All players interested in playing on either the Camden High School junior varsity and/or ninth grade football teams are asked to attend a mandatory meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 13 at 5:30 p.m. inside the commons area which adjoins the school's gymnasium.
Camden High School is adding girls' golf to its roster of athletic programs beginning this fall.
The Camden High School Bulldog Club Membership Drive is in full swing for the 2013-14 school year.
As a seventh-grade member of the Camden High softball program, Allison Hill probably found herself taking a peak at the adjoining field and wondering "what if?"
For the 60th consecutive year, student-athletes at Camden High school were honored by The Bulldog Club at the organization's annual awards banquet on May 21.
Usually, the fruits of summer start out as seedlings in the spring.
There was hardly a word said as to last fall's 2-8 campaign before, during or after Camden's spring football practice for the 2013 season.
Crystal Johnson, a 2003 graduate of Camden High, who was a volleyball and basketball standout for the Lady Bulldogs during her high school career, will be the guest speaker at the Camden High School Athletic Banquet to be held on Tuesday, May 21, in the school gymnasium.

I was helping my little brother with Emerald a few weeks ago, and he told me a Poocheyana was a different color. I immediately took over the game, but unfortunately, he found it while he had only his strongest Pokemon. I fainted it in 1 hit, and just had a laugh about it. A couple days later, I caught a shiny tangela in Heart Gold.
Don't listen to all those rumors about me, I'm just your average everyday Pokemon trainer!

@petenowa did u know u were "an angry black woman"?
This morning, the New York Times published "Wrought in Their Creator's Image", an article talking about the new network series "How to Get Away With Murder", produced by Shonda Rimes and starring Viola Davis. The articles claims about the beauty and character of Black women have created a discussion, from Rimes herself and others about the stereotype of the "angry Black woman" and whether Ms. Davis is, as the Times suggests #lessclassicallybeautiful than other women because of the age and color of her skin.
BoJack Horseman's radically funny sadness
BoJack Horseman Is the Funniest Show About Depression Ever
BoJack Horseman is a weird cartoon about a washed-up sitcom star (who's a horse), a snappy social criticism of the entertainment industry, and the kind of in-jokey cartoon designed to tickle the internet. It's also one of the most aggressive portraits of depression I think I've ever seen. Look past the anthropomorphic animal characters and the satire of toxic celebrity culture: This show is radically sad. I love it.Netflix Original's animated series BoJack Horseman stars Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, and Alison Brie. It co-stars Aaron Paul and Paul F. Tompkins and has a long and impressive list of guest stars. [more inside]
"Let me tell you something, Elvin."
Thirty years ago this month, NBC premiered "The Cosby Show" and changed the television landscape. And though people will rightly remember it as a groundbreaking show for African Americans (and sweaters), Slate's Jason Bailey argues that it was just as important in its feminism.

Star Trek in Widescreen
"I was able to create these shots by waiting for the camera to pan and then I stitched the separate shots together. The result is pretty epic. It reminds me of the classic science fiction movies of the 50's and 60's. Suddenly the show has a 'Forbidden Planet' vibe." [via]
Giving up on Doctor Who
I gave up mainly because I'd got tired of watching talented actors reduced to eye candy and acting out the fantasies of overgrown adolescents who had somehow finagled their way into writing scripts. Where they were writing scripts that looked like old-time Doctor Who, without necssarily understanding why old-time Doctor Who worked and more importantly why it didn't.Maureen K. Speller: I'm giving up on Doctor Who again. This time it may be final.

'"The good news is we solved the murder of your husband. The bad news is you're under arrest.' Everyone's a noir hero!"

John is the new Jon
With a combination of humor and fearlessness, Last Week Tonight has done an unlikely thing: spurred action. John Oliver's segment on net neutrality this past June perfectly summed up what his HBO show Last Week Tonight is so good at: transcending apathy. It's an ingenious formula that's making a difference in the real world. "Making a difference" isn't hyperbole. The FCC's website actually crashed from overwhelming web traffic the day after Oliver's segment originally aired. The Atlantic looks at How John Oliver Beats Apathy.

"Surprisingly, Black Books has no affliction with the BBC whatsoever; created by Dylan Moran (who also plays the lead) and Graham Linehan, the show was filmed at Teddington Studios and broadcast on Channel 4. It centers around Bernard Black (Dylan Moran), the careless, grumpy, wine-inhaling owner of Black Books, his friend Fran (Tamsin Greig) and his assistant shop keeper Manny (Bill Bailey). Specked with a few fun cameos by people not yet famous at the time, this show is a hilarious roller coaster ride that will make you laugh until you cry."

Orphan Black: "the TV embodiment of modern feminism"
While the New Republic praises Orphan Black for its portrayal of the Female Gaze and avoidance of the usual male orientated titillation:
As a show chiefly concerned with the ways women's bodies are commodified and controlled, "Orphan Black" is careful not to view its female characters with that same hungry eye. This is a triumph: On so many shows, the camera works at cross-purposes to the high-minded themes. "Game of Thrones" depicts women and girls straining against a world that abuses and sexualizes their bodies—then it glamorizes and fetishizes that abuse. "True Detective" criticizes men who violate girls, then lovingly reduces women to bouncing breasts or artfully posed corpses.(Spoilers inside) [more inside]

Murder, She Wrote. And Played.
"But I'm getting ahead of myself. First, let me tell you a story: a story about a board game. The Murder, She Wrote board game. You didn't know such a thing existed? Neither did I, before my friend Sarah brought it one summer to camp. (For the sake of clarity: I mean camp in the upstate New York sense, i.e., a small un-insulated cottage on a freshwater lake that has a preponderance of mismatched glasses and forks with wonky tines and maybe exposed studs but is the greatest place to family-vacation on earth.) Sarah and I met in day care, and had been friends for years—but this year, when she came to visit, she unknowingly brought the one thing that would enflame my jealousy." [more inside]

About the multi-talented Mason Williams [previously, and best known as composer of the iconic "Classical Gas"] -- Throughout his years in the Navy and college he wrote a series of poems he titled Them Poems. As he entered the folk music scene in the early 60's he wound up rooming with long time friend Ed Ruscha in Los Angeles. Some of the language from Them Poems is a consequence of creative word play that Ed and Paul Ruscha riffed on with Williams over the years. Ed Ruscha provided us with this recording [also released as "The Mason Williams Listening Matter", and reviewed here on allmusic by Eugene Chadbourne] from 1964. Recording starts around 35 seconds in. Also, here's Mason performing "Them Tummy Gummers" on Johnny Cash's variety show. Finally, Mason Williams Online.

Squirrel and Hedgehog
Squirrel and Hedgehog - Yes folks, this is a North Korean cartoon produced in house ... The animation is really good, (episode 24 and on is animated in Flash, while before it was all hand drawn) the story is pretty complicated sometimes, and the characters are cool. The only thing actually wrong with this show, other than it being blatant propaganda, is that the lipsync is awful. [more inside]

Years before the X-Files appeared on TV, there was Project U.F.O., produced by Jack Webb, famous for creating Dragnet and many other popular television series. The show features two U.S. Air Force investigators with the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson AFB, charged with investigating UFO sightings. The first season starred William Jordan as Maj. Jake Gatlin alongside Caskey Swaim as Staff Sgt. Harry Fitz. Jordan was a rather nondescript leading man, while Swaim, who had never had any significant acting experience before landing the role, added diversity as a Southerner with a pronounced accent. In season two, Jordan was replaced by Edward Winter as Capt. Ben Ryan. Many of the episodes were loosely based on case files from the Air Force's Project Blue Book, which ran from 1952-1970. Project U.F.O. only ran for two seasons, from 1978-1979, and was never re-aired in the USA, nor was it released on video. [more inside]

Gender and Jeopardy
Julia Collins of Kenilworth, Ill, is now the winningest woman in Jeopardy! history, the third winningest non-tournament player, and she isn't done. She'll be playing her 20th game tomorrow night, wherein followers hope she'll break the $400,000 mark on her steady climb. You can catch up on her run at YouTube.
One of the champions whose records she has now surpassed is Arthur Chu, who has also made big waves this week, speaking out on misogyny in geek culture, in response to the murders in Isla Vista. Writes Chu: The overall problem is one of a culture where instead of seeing women as, you know, people, protagonists of their own stories just like we are of ours, men are taught that women are things to 'earn,' to 'win.'
The show's history and the iconic host's banter seem to reveal that in terms of gender, Jeopardy! is not, as etymology would have it, "an evenly divided game," but could this be the year things change?

During the late 1970's and 1980's, Glen A. Larson's lighthearted television dramas were incredibly popular: Knight Rider. B.J. and the Bear. The original Battlestar Galactica. Quincy M.E. The Fall Guy. Magnum, P.I. Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Larson had hit after hit and it seemed he could do no wrong. But he did produce three flops in the 80's, (and another in the 90's that managed to last two seasons): Automan, The Highwayman, Manimal and Night Man. [more inside]

in response to jro440hmm, strange. as i said it works for me. Just tried it out to make sure. maybe something is getting messed up during the delivery. Open the sent message in the sent mailbox. does the hyperlink work there?
BTW, what version of Mail are you using? Mine is 3.3. I've done this before and it also worked in 3.1 and 3.2
jro440 Jun 4, 2008 5:51 AM
in response to V.K.Hi VK: I am working with version 3.3 now. Was working with version 3.2 yesterday. But it still not working in the sent or in the received. You know how it is a simple thing gets really complicated. Any suggestion? Thanks for your time.
V.K. Jun 4, 2008 7:27 AM
in response to jro440sorry, I don't know why this doesn't work for you. you seem to be doing it correctly so it should just work.
some things to try (none might help).
1. try this from a different user account.
2. reinstall Mail from optional installs on the leopard DVD.
3. reinstall Safari update.
after doing 2 or 3 you'll have to reinstall 10.5.3 combo update too to bring your system up to date.

For the most part, we think of a shipping company when it comes to moving furniture and other belongings. However, shipping a motorcycle is another option for getting a bike safely to a riding destination. When issues such as inclement weather prevent motorcycle riders from making the trip on their bikes, hiring a trustworthy company can be the solution.
When considering motorcycle-shipping services:
- Make sure to contract with a US Department of Transportation (DOT) licensed motorcycle transporter.
- Always ask any motorcycle shipper for their USDOT and Motor Carrier (MC) license numbers.
- Review the status of the motorcycle transporter on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) website. The FMCSA website lists whether the status of a the motorcycle transport company is active and current and if it has active and current cargo insurance in addition to the cargo insurance policy coverage limits.
- Do not to pay a motorcycle transport company until you have verified their DOT and MC licenses and have spoken with them directly.
- Always get a written quote and read the motorcycle transporters terms of use prior to booking your motorcycle shipment.
- Request a tracking number from the company.
- Check out the company's BBB Business Review to see their rating, customer reviews and complaint history.
Watch Out for Online Reverse Auction Websites
There are a many unlicensed and uninsured motorcycle-shipping entities operating illegally and bidding on shipments, particularly through online reverse auction websites. Some reverse auction websites do not require motorcycle transporters to be DOT compliant to bid on shipments. The transport auction websites may not always help if you experience challenges with the motorcycle shipment.
Avoid Shipping Scams
Keep in mind that most motorcycle shipping scams involve companies that do not allow you to talk to their scheduling staff over the phone until you have paid for part or all of the shipment up-front.

This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/070,394 filed on Apr. 30, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,452,276.
This application is related to U.S. application Ser. No. 08/739,765, filed Oct. 30, 1996, and 09/021,262, filed Feb. 10, 1998, which are both commonly owned by the assignee of the present application.
The present invention relates to interconnect semiconductor structures and, in particular to an alpha-phase W barrier layer that is formed in the trenches or vias of such interconnect structures using a low temperature/low pressure chemical vapor deposition technique, wherein tungsten hexacarbonyl, W(CO)6, is employed as the precursor or source material. The alpha-phase W barrier layer of the present invention is ultra-thin (less than 15 nm), essentially impermeable to conductive materials, exhibits good adhesion to the dielectric material and the conductive material of the interconnect structure, and it conformally and continuously covers a high aspect ratio trench (greater than 3:1 depth/width). Hence, the alpha-phase W barrier layer of the present invention can be used in many interconnect structures wherein such a barrier layer is required. This includes, but is not limited to: damascene structures, memory cell capacitors and all other wiring applications for logic, memory and input/output applications. The barrier layer of the present invention can also be used in gate stack applications between polysilicon and a metallization, i.e. conductive, layer.
In order to fabricate high performance interconnect structures for state of the art semiconductor devices, it is necessary to embed a conductive material such as Cu into a dielectric material having a trench or via formed therein. Organic as well as inorganic dielectric materials are known and are currently being employed in such applications. Examples of organic dielectrics include: polyimides, paralyne polymers, silicon polymers, i.e. polysiloxanes, diamond, diamond-like carbon and the like, while SiO2, Si3N4, silicon oxide/nitride mixtures or alternating oxide/nitride layers are known inorganic dielectrics.
While Cu is currently being developed for use in semiconductor manufacturing by the assignee herein for such applications, it exhibits a number of undesirable properties. One highly undesirable property that Cu exhibits is that it generally diffuses through the dielectric material at the moderately elevated temperatures encountered during subsequent processing steps. The out-diffusion of Cu can have a number of deleterious effects on the interconnect structure being manufactured. For example, the out-diffusion of Cu may cause short circuiting of the wires or it may degrade the performance of the MOS device.
To overcome this out-diffusion problem exhibited by Cu, a barrier layer is generally formed between Cu and the dielectric material. In prior instances, the material used in forming the barrier layer has not been compatible with the dielectric material, i.e. it does not adhere well to the dielectric material. Thus, an additional adhesion layer has been required in order to achieve satisfactory adhesion of the barrier layer material to the dielectric.
A typical prior art interconnect structure containing a dielectric, an additional adhesion layer, a barrier layer and Cu is shown in
As stated above, the adhesion layer is only required when barrier layer 14 is not compatible with dielectric 10. Suitable materials for the adhesion layer include: Ti, Cr and other similar materials. The adhesion layer is formed using standard deposition techniques such as sputtering. The Cu region is formed using plating, chemical vapor deposition, plasma vapor deposition and like techniques which are also well known in the art.
The barrier layer in the prior art structure of
Although a wide range of materials can be employed as barrier layer 14, the prior art barrier layers do not meet all of the following requirements which are now deemed as necessary in the fabrication of interconnect structures:
While prior art barrier layers may satisfy one or more of the above criteria, none of the barrier layers provided in prior art processes are known to satisfy all of them. Thus, there is a need to develop a new barrier layer that satisfies each and every criteria mentioned hereinabove. Such a barrier layer would be extremely useful in all semiconductor interconnect applications wherein Cu or another conductive metal is found.
One object of the present invention is to provide a barrier layer for use in interconnect trench or via structures which satisfies the above mentioned criteria listed under items 1–7.
One specific objective met by the present invention is that it provides a barrier layer that is compatible, i.e. adheres, with both the dielectric material and the conductive material so as to eliminate the need of an additional adhesion layer in interconnect structures.
A second specific objective met by the present invention is that it provides a barrier layer which is ultra-thin (less than 15 nm) and is capable of conformally covering high aspect ratio trenches or vias.
These and other aspects and advantages are achieved in the present invention by utilizing alpha-W as a barrier layer, wherein the alpha-W is formed by a low temperature/low pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process using tungsten hexacarbonyl, W(Co)6, as the precursor, i.e. source material. Specifically, the barrier layer of the present invention comprises alpha-phase W which is a single phased material that is formed from W(CO)6 utilizing a low temperature/low pressure CVD process. No other phases such as β-W are formed by utilizing the method of the present invention.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of forming an alpha-W barrier layer on the sidewalls and bottom of a trench or via that was previously formed in a dielectric material. Specifically, the alpha-W barrier layer is formed in the present invention by depositing a conformal layer of alpha-W having a thickness of less than 15 nm on the sidewalls and bottom of a trench or via region previously formed in a dielectric material, wherein said deposition is carried out by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using W(CO)6 as a source material.
A still further aspect of the present invention relates to a structure comprising at least one layer of a semiconducting, e.g. polysilicon, or dielectric material having a layer of alpha-W over a portion of said semiconducting or dielectric material; and a conductive material formed over said alpha-W layer. The alpha-W is formed over the material in accordance with the method described hereinabove in forming the alpha-W barrier layer.
A yet further aspect of the present invention relates to interconnect structures that contain the alpha-W barrier layer of the present invention inside the trench or via structure. Specifically, the interconnect structure of the present invention comprises one or more layers of a dielectric material having at least one trench or via region therein; a barrier layer of the alpha-W covering the sidewalls and the bottom of the at least one trench or via region, wherein said alpha-W barrier layer is a continuous single phased material having a thickness of less than 15 nm; and a conductive material formed over said alpha-W barrier layer in said at least one trench or via region. Vias may also be formed in a respective dielectric extending from the bottom of a trench to an interconnect wiring trench below.
Suitable interconnect structures that are contemplated in the present invention include, but are not limited to: memory cell capacitors including plate capacitors, crown capacitors, stack capacitors and other like capacitors; damascene structures including dual and single; multiple wiring levels containing a plurality of vias and metal lines; and other like interconnect structures.
The present invention, which is directed to a barrier layer comprising alpha-W, will now be described in greater detail by referring to the drawings that accompany this application. It should be noted that in the drawings like elements or components are referred to by like and corresponding reference numerals. It is further emphasized that while the present invention illustrates plate capacitors and dual damascene interconnect structures, it can be used in other applications wherein a conductive material such as Cu is employed as an electrode or wiring means. Another potential application for the alpha-W barrier layer of the present application is in a gate stack wherein the alpha-W would be formed between polysilicon and an outer metallization layer using the method of the present invention.
Referring to the drawings in more detail, and particularly referring to
This capacitor structure is prepared utilizing conventional processing steps well known to those skilled in the art except for the deposition of alpha-W barrier layers 24 and 25 which are formed utilizing the low temperature/pressure CVD process described hereinbelow. It is noted that barrier layer 36 may also be formed utilizing the method of the present invention. Since all of the other processing steps are known to those skilled in the art, a detailed description of the same is not given herein.
Semiconductor substrate 20 may contain appropriate diffusion and isolation regions to form electronic devices which are embedded in semiconductor substrate 20. For clarity, these regions as well as others are not shown in the drawings of the present invention. Any suitable material that is semiconducting may be employed in the present invention as semiconductor substrate 20. This includes, but is not limited to: silicon (Si), Ge, SiGe, GaAs, InAs, InP and all other III/V compounds. Of these semiconducting materials, it is highly preferred in the present invention that semiconductor substrate 20 be composed of Si or SiGe.
The semiconductor substrates employed in the present invention may be of the p-type or n-type depending upon the type of electronic device being manufactured.
Dielectric 22, which contains a trench region formed in its surface, includes any insulative material including inorganic materials as well as organic materials. Suitable dielectrics that can be employed in the present invention include: but are not limited to: SiO2, Si3N4, polyimides, diamond, diamond-like carbon, silicon polymers, paralyne polymers and fluorinated diamond-like carbon. These dielectrics may be doped or undoped. When doped, the dopant may be boron, fluorine, phosphorus, silicon, Ge or another like dopant material.
Dielectric 22 may contain appropriate word lines, bit lines, and other components which are typically present in capacitor structures of the type illustrated by
As stated above, many of the processing steps used in forming the structure shown in

The structure in
In addition to optional seed layer 26, a conductive region 28 composed of a conductive material such as Cu, Al, or alloys of Cu or Al is formed such that conductive region 28 at least fills the inside of the trench region. A preferred material for conductive region 28 is Cu. Reference is made to copending and coassigned U.S. application Ser. No. 08/768,107, filed Dec. 16, 1996, to Andricacos, et al., the contents of which are being incorporated herein by reference, for describing various means for forming a conductive material in a trench region. In

Before addressing how alpha-W barrier layers 24 and 25 are formed in
As was the case, with the capacitor structure shown in
Many of the elements illustrated in
The formation of the alpha-W barrier layers in
Specifically, a barrier layer of alpha-W, e.g. layer 24, is formed inside the trench of dielectric 22 and/or 44 so as to provide a conformal layer which continuously covers the sidewalls and the bottom of the trench by employing CVD using W(CO)6 as the source material under the temperature and pressure conditions defined hereinbelow which are sufficient to form alpha-W barrier layer 24 inside the trench of dielectric 22 or 44. It should be emphasized that the same conditions are employed in forming alpha-W barrier layer 25 shown in
Reference is made to
The source material 58, tungsten hexacarbonyl, W(CO)6, is introduced from tank 64 into chamber 52 via a stainless steel valve 60 and is directed to the opened trench interconnect structure which is contained within the CVD apparatus.
The specific operation of the CVD apparatus shown in
Any grade of W(CO)6 can be used in the present invention in forming the alpha-W barrier layer. If a low purity W(CO)6 grade is used, it can be purified prior to being introduced into chamber 52 using purification techniques well known to those skilled in the art.
The base pressure of the reactor prior to conducting the deposition step is evacuated to about 1�10−8 Torr or pressures lower than 1�10−8 Torr. Such base pressures are required in the present invention in order to remove any contaminates such as oxygen that may be present in the source material or the system prior to deposition. The presence of such contaminates may inhibit the formation of pure alpha-W.
CVD of W(CO)6 occurs at a temperature of from about 250� to about 600� C. More preferably, the CVD deposition of W occurs at a temperature of from about 275� to about 500� C. For optimum conductivity, it may be desirable to add hydrogen to the W source material when operating at deposition temperatures of less than 450� C. The pressure of the reactor during deposition is from about 1�10−6 to about 3�10−3 Torr. More preferably, the deposition of W(CO)6 occurs at a pressure of from about 1�10−4 to about 2�10−3 Torr.
The CVD process is carried out for a time period of from about 3 minutes to about 4 hrs. Longer and shorter deposition times than those specified above are also contemplated herein.
It is noted that these conditions are sufficient to form an alpha-phase W barrier layer 24 inside the trench of the interconnect structure. The same conditions are also capable of forming an alpha-phase barrier layer 25 over conductive region 28, as is shown in
It is also noted that under the above conditions a conformal and continuous barrier layer comprising alpha-W having a thickness of less than 15 nm is provided inside the trench. More specifically, the above conditions are sufficient to form an alpha-W barrier layer that has a thickness of no more than 7.0 nm. Lower or higher thicknesses are possible provided that a continuous film be formed by the deposition process. The average thickness variation over typical device dimensions of the CVD deposited alpha-W on a given flat surface is no more than 5%.
It is further noted that the alpha-W barrier layer of the present invention meets all seven criteria mentioned in the Background Section of the present application. Hence, it provides properties such as being impermeable to Cu diffusion, good adhesion and conformally and continuously covers a high aspect ratio trench which are heretofore not meet by prior art barrier layers.
It should also be understood that the deposition of W using CVD or sputtering techniques is well known in the art and it is generally applied as a wiring means in packaging applications. In prior CVD applications, tungsten hexafluoride, WF6, is typically used as the source material not W(CO)6. Little attention has been given to the use of tungsten carbonyls in wiring applications since relatively high temperatures are necessary to produce reasonably pure W films.
The formation of W layers using WF6 CVD chemistry have been previously disclosed in the prior art. This process, however, differs fundamentally from the present invention, in that WF6 cannot be used to deposit W directly onto dielectric materials. Instead, thick layers of silicon must first be deposited onto the dielectric material in a chemical activation step, and then the silicon is reacted away (to form SiF4) leaving W in its stead.
Moreover, it has been determined that exposure of even quite thick oxide films (250 nm) to WF6 causes, without any exceptions, complete device failure, i.e. it causes the oxide to become excessively leaky in terms of its current. Other techniques besides CVD have been employed such as sputtering W however, none of the prior art processes are capable of depositing alpha-W directly onto dielectric materials so as to achieve the objectives of the present invention.
The following example is given to illustrate the scope of the present invention. Because this example is given for illustrative purposes only, the invention embodied therein should not be limited thereto.
A series of experiments were performed in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the alpha-W barrier layer of the present invention.
I. Demonstration of Impermeability
A substrate comprising a planar layer of Cu having a thickness of 300 nm formed on the surface of silicon was exposed to W(CO)6 in accordance with the CVD processing conditions mentioned hereinabove. Specifically, the W deposition was carried out in a CVD apparatus at a temperature of about 450� C. and a deposition pressure of about 5�104 Torr. Deposition was carried out at these conditions for a time period of about 8 minutes which was sufficient to form a continuous alpha-W barrier layer having a thickness of about 7 nm.
The resulting structure was analyzed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) to ensure that there was no Cu present on the surface. This sample which contained no Cu on the surface was then annealed in vacuum for 70 hours at 500� C. These test conditions were more stringent than the conditions used under normal processing conditions—3 hours at 450� C.—which are typically sufficient to induce failure in prior art barrier layers. After annealing, the sample was reanalyzed by XPS to see if any Cu had diffused through the alpha-W barrier layer, none however, was observed.
In another experiment, alpha-W was deposited by CVD onto a SiO2 layer which was previously formed on a Si substrate using the same conditions described above. Afterwards both Al and Cu dots were deposited on top of the CVD alpha-W layer and subsequently used as metal masks while the W between the metal masks were milled away.
The milled sample was then subjected to bias temperature stressing (BTS) which was carried out at a temperature of 300� C. and a voltage of 2 MV/cm for 5 hours. These conditions are normally sufficient to drive the Cu into the SiO2 dielectric layer. Thereafter, the sample was subjected to triangular voltage sweep (TVS) by varying the voltage and measuring the capacitance at a desired voltage.
The results of the above two experiments illustrate that the CVD deposited alpha-W is a robust diffusion barrier layer.
II. Demonstration of Adhesion
Numerous samples of W on a SiO2 layer which was previously formed on a Si substrate were formed by the CVD method described above in a variety of thicknesses (3–100 nm) and structures consisting of both blanket films and long wire structures. Adhesion was tested using a scotch tape technique known to those skilled in the art and these test results revealed that the adhesion was invariably excellent (by the tape test) and remained so after temperature excursions as high as 750� C.
In a comparative study, W was deposited on a SiO2 layer which was previously formed on a Si substrate by sputtering. Under the same high temperature excursion as the CVD deposited alpha-W, the wiring structures containing sputtered W delaminated.
III. Demonstration of Conformal Coverage
In current practice, it is only necessary to coat trenches which are typically about 0.3 microns wide with a 3:1 aspect ratio. To provide a rigorous test for conformal coverage, overhang structures were fabricated which had a base width of only about 0.05 microns and an aspect ratio of about 5:1. From the SEM data it can be seen that conformality of growth of alpha-W by CVD was so good that these structures could have been completely filled with alpha-W. This represents a much more difficult proposition than merely providing a coating to the walls. Thus, the conformal growth characteristics of the method far exceeds the conformal requirements of current practice.
IV. Demonstration of the Structural Differences Between Alpha-W Formed in Accordance with the Present Invention and Sputtered W
X-ray crystallography was used to characterized a first sample containing 50 nm sputtered W on a layer of SiO2 which was previously formed on a Si substrate and a second sample containing alpha-W which is formed on a layer of SiO2 which was previously formed on a Si substrate using the low temperature/pressure CVD process of the present invention. Reference is first made to FIG. 6(a) which shows the X-ray data for the CVD deposited W. Specifically, this figure shows a single symmetrical peak in the 2-theta diagram which is characteristic of 110 alpha-W. In regard to the sputtered W, reference is made to the X-ray data shown in
While this invention has been particularly shown and described with respect to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and other changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Property Master PlansPowell Marsh Wildlife Area
Powell Marsh State Wildlife Area (PMSWA) lies in western Vilas County, 3 miles south of Manitowish Waters and 10 miles north of Lac du Flambeau. There are 390 acres of private land within the 4,850 acre wildlife area. PMSWA is bounded on three sides by the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest and by the Lac du Flambeau Indian Reservation on the south. Several cranberry producers own land adjacent to the property. The Turtle Flambeau Scenic Waters Area lies about six miles to the west.
PMSWA is primarily an open peatland with several small flowages and small lakes. It encompasses a portion of a 20,000 acre wetland complex mostly owned and managed by the Lac du Flambeau Reservation. About 12,000 acres of the tribally owned lands have leatherleaf bog habitat similar to the wildlife area. While lakes are abundant in the region, large, open peatlands are rare across northern Wisconsin. Without intervention, these peatlands naturally convert to tamarack forest and black spruce muskeg.
Preliminary vision and goals
Preliminary vision statement:
The Powell Marsh Wildlife Area is an expansive, open wetland ecosystem that supports a wide variety of plant and animal species, particularly waterfowl. The property provides hunting, trapping, bird watching, other compatible recreational pursuits and educational opportunities. The area's natural, cultural and historical resources are managed and enhanced with the cooperation of tribal governments and adjacent landowners.
Preliminary goal statements:
- Provide a large area of high quality open wetland habitats for migratory and resident birds, semi-aquatic furbearers and other wildlife. Protect wildlife Species of Greatest Conservation Need and enhance their habitats whenever possible.
- Maintain and enhance hunting, trapping, wildlife viewing and other compatible recreational opportunities and public access within the physical capabilities of the property. Provide opportunities for natural history and environmental interpretation and education.
- Assure the Powell Marsh State Wildlife Area waters and the water flowing from the property are of good quality and meet aesthetic water quality standards.
