この発明は、例えばWs Mo s Cr等の高融点金
属あるいはそのシリサイド等から成る薄膜をスパッタリ
ングによって作製するのに用いられるスパッタリング用
ターゲットに関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a sputtering target used for producing a thin film made of a high melting point metal such as WsMosCr or its silicide by sputtering.
例えば超LSIの電極配線膜等として使用される例えば
Ws Mo SCr等の高融点金属あるいはそのシリサ
イド(例えばWSi2、Mo5iz、CrSi。For example, high melting point metals such as Ws Mo SCr or their silicides (eg WSi2, Mo5iz, CrSi) are used as electrode wiring films of VLSIs.
等)の製膜に用いられるスパッタリング用ターゲットに
は、従来、W%Mo s Cr % S i等の微粉末
を必要組成に配合し、それを成形および焼結したターゲ
ットが使用されていた。Conventionally, a sputtering target used for forming a film of (e.g.) has been a target prepared by blending fine powder such as W%MosCr%Si to the required composition, molding and sintering it.
しかしながら上記のような従来のターゲットには次のよ
うな問題があった。However, the conventional targets as described above have the following problems.
■ 当該ターゲットを用いて得られるスパッタ膜の特性
の均一性に劣る。(2) The sputtered film obtained using the target has poor uniformity of properties.
これは、(i)微粉末は比表面積が非常に大きい(例え
ば100m”/gr程度)ため、大気中の水分、有機物
等の不純物を吸着し易く、更に酸化するため、高純度の
ターゲットが得にくいこと、(ii)微粉末を必要組成
に配合した場合、局部的な組成のゆらぎが不可避的に生
じるため、全体に亘り組成の均一なターゲットが得にく
いこと、等に起因する。This is because (i) fine powder has a very large specific surface area (for example, about 100 m"/gr), so it easily adsorbs impurities such as moisture and organic matter in the atmosphere, and further oxidizes, resulting in a highly pure target. (ii) When fine powders are blended into the required composition, local fluctuations in the composition inevitably occur, making it difficult to obtain a target with a uniform composition over the entire area.
■ 当該ターゲットを用いて得られるスパッタ膜の膜厚
の均一性に劣る。(2) The uniformity of the sputtered film obtained using the target is poor.
これは、焼結体であるため当該ターゲットには数%〜数
十%程度の気孔が残存しており、これによってスパッタ
リングの均一性が損なわれるからである。This is because, since the target is a sintered body, several percent to several tens of percent of pores remain in the target, which impairs the uniformity of sputtering.
■ 当該ターゲットは経済性があまり良くない。■ The economic efficiency of the target is not very good.
これは、(i) m粉末(例えば1μm以下)を原料と
しているため原料が高価であること、(ii)焼結雰囲
気(例えばH2ガス雰囲気)の高純度化が必要であり、
しかも焼結には1500℃程度の高温を必要とするため
、製造プロセスに手間がかかること、等に起因する。This is because (i) the raw material is expensive since m powder (for example, 1 μm or less) is used as the raw material; (ii) the sintering atmosphere (for example, H2 gas atmosphere) needs to be highly purified;
Moreover, since sintering requires a high temperature of about 1500° C., the manufacturing process is labor-intensive.
