PVD deposition and anneal of multi-layer metal-dielectric film

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides a film stack structure formed on a substrate and methods for forming the film stack structure on the substrate. In one embodiment, the method for forming a film stack structure on a substrate includes depositing a first adhesion layer on an oxide layer formed on the substrate and depositing a metal layer on the first adhesion layer, wherein the first adhesion layer and the metal layer form a stress neutral structure.
