Effect of sputtering power on the growth of Ru films deposited by magnetron sputtering

TLDR
In this paper, the effect of sputtering power on the electrical and structural properties of Ru films was investigated experimentally using high-resolution X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
Abstract
Ruthenium is deposited by DC magnetron sputtering at different powers and is characterized. The effect of sputtering power on the electrical and structural properties of the film is investigated experimentally. High resolution X-ray diffraction is used to characterize the microstructure of Ru films deposited on SiO2 surface. The peak (002) is more sharp and intense with full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 0.37° at 250W. The grain size increases with increase in sputtering power improving the crystallinity of the film. The film deposited at high sputtering power also showed lower resistivity (12.40 µΩ-cm) and higher mobility (4.82 cm2/V.s) as compared to the film deposited at low power. The surface morphology of the film is studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Ru thin films prepared by RF magnetron sputtering with Ru targets of different microstructures

TL;DR: In this article , Ru targets were prepared by vacuum hot pressing with two different Ru powders with different morphologies and particle sizes, and Ru films were then deposited on SiO2/Si(100) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering at substrate temperatures ranging from room temperature (RT, about 25 °C) to 400 C.
