Abstract:
Described are methods for controlling the doping of metal nitride films such as TaN, TiN and MnN. The temperature during deposition of the metal nitride film may be controlled to provide a film density that permits a desired amount of doping. Dopants may include Ru, Cu, Co, Mn, Mo, Al, Mg, Cr, Nb, Ta, Ti and V. The metal nitride film may optionally be exposed to plasma treatment after doping.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for forming a doped tantalum nitride film on a substrate, the method comprising:\n depositing a tantalum nitride film on the substrate at a temperature selected to provide a film having a predetermined film density less than or equal to about 9.5 g/cm 3 ; and exposing the tantalum nitride film to a dopant metal precursor to form a doped manganese nitride film.
