Method of forming high purity metal silicides targets for sputtering

The invention relates to a process of making a high purity silicide target comprising the steps of providing a substrate in a CVD enclosure, evacuating said enclosure up to a pressure P1 which is at least equal to or smaller than 5 x 10 Torr, heating the substrate at a temperature T1, which is at le...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a process of making a high purity silicide target comprising the steps of providing a substrate in a CVD enclosure, evacuating said enclosure up to a pressure P1 which is at least equal to or smaller than 5 x 10 Torr, heating the substrate at a temperature T1, which is at least equal to or greater than 20 DEG C, injecting in said enclosure a refractory metal halide MXm having a purity, as far as metallic impurities are concerned, greater than 5N (99,999 %) and a silicon hydride having a purity, as far as metallic impurities are concerned, greater than 6N (99,9999 %) setting the pressure in the enclosure between about 0.01 Torr and the atmospheric pressure while maintaining the temperature in the CVD enclosure between about 20 DEG C and about 800 DEG C, growing a refractory metal silicide layer on the substrate to make a target having a purity, as far as metallic impurities are concerned, greater than 5N (99,999 %), maintaining the temperature in the enclosure during said growing step at a value T2 which is not greater than T1, then withdrawing the target from said CVD enclosure.
