Process for forming a thin film of TiSiN, in particular for phase change memory devices

42222 The process for forming a film of TiSiN includes the following sequence of steps: deposition of a TiN film at medium temperature, for example, 300-450° C., by thermal decomposition of a metallorganic precursor, for example TDMAT (Tetrakis Dimethylamino Titanium); exposition to a silicon releasing gas, such as silane (SiH) and dichlorosilane (SiHCl) at 10-90 sccm-standard cube centimeters per minute-for a quite long time, for example, longer than 10 s but less than 90 s, preferably about 40 s; exposition to a H/Nplasma at 200-800 sccm, for 10-90 s, preferably about 40 s.
