Reliable 300mm WSi Target for Enhanced Performance

WSi (Tungsten Silicide) sputtering target material is a metal silicide ceramic material formed by the high-temperature synthesis of tungsten (W) and silicon (Si), specifically designed for magnetron sputtering coating in physical vapor deposition processes. Its chemical formula is typically WSi₂, and it serves as a core material for depositing high stability metal silicide films in semiconductor manufacturing, finding widespread application in the formation of transistor gates, contact layers, and interconnection structures.

    Characteristics

    High sputtering performance

    High sputtering rate: high density (≥9.5 g/cm³) and high purity (≥99.995%) improve sputtering efficiency and reduce process cost;

    Uniform film formation: Controllable die size (typically ≤ 50μm) to ensure uniformity of surface thickness (non-uniformity ≤3%) on large wafers;

    Low particle pollution: The dense microstructure reduces the release of fine particles during sputtering and improves yield.

    Compatibility of Chemistry and Technology

    Antioxidant and corrosion resistance: resists oxidation at high temperature and plasma environment, and is compatible with harsh processes such as PVD/CVD;

    Low stress control: The internal stress of the film can be adjusted to reduce the risk of wafer warpage and interface defects.

    High etching selectivity: Excellent etching selectivity with photoresist and dielectric layers, simplifying the graphic process;

    Excellent thin film properties

    Low resistivity: low resistivity of the film (about 50–70μΩ·cm), which significantly reduces the circuit interconnection resistance and improves the switching speed of the device;

    High thermal stability: high temperature resistance (>1000°C), maintaining chemical stability in subsequent annealing processes, inhibiting elemental diffusion;

    Strong interfacial adhesion: Excellent bonding with silicon substrate and SiO₂ dielectric layer, avoiding film peeling problems.

    Application

    Semiconductor Manufacturing

    Gate engineering: replacing polysilicon for CMOS metal gates (such as high-K metal gate processes below 28nm);

    Contact layer: ohmic contact layer of the transistor source/drain (WSi/Si contact resistance as low as 10⁻⁷ Ω·cm²);

    Local interconnect: An embolic structure that connects the transistor to the first layer of metal (e.g., tungsten embolic diffusion barrier layer).

    Manufacturing of Storage Devices

    DRAM: The contact layer between the capacitive electrode and the bit line improves the stability of charge storage;

    3D NAND: gate stacking structure of vertical channels, high-temperature resistance is suitable for stepped etching process;

    Power and Compound Semiconductors

    Power devices: gate metallization of SiC/GaN devices to withstand high-temperature working environments;

    RF devices: low-resistance thin films reduce the parasitic resistance of the device and improve high-frequency performance.

    Other high-end fields

    Flat panel display: the thin film deposition of the gate and signal line of the TFT backplane;

    Irradiation-resistant devices: radiation-hardened metal layers of aerospace electronic components.
