An amorphous-like tungsten suicide film, deposited by chemical vapor deposition at a higher flow ratio of 2.5 of WF_6/SiH_4, was used as the barrier layer in the copper gate electrode. This film processes superior barrier characteristics to those of the typical tungsten film at a lower flow ratio of 0.4 of WF_6/SiH_4 because it lacks the fast diffusion paths of columnar grain boundaries. We proved that the film successfully suppressed copper atom diffusion toward the gate oxide during annealing at 600℃ for 30 mm. We also found that the amorphous-like tungsten silicide film exhibits better barrier characteristics after in-situ nitrogen plasma treatment at 300℃ for 5mm.
