✦ Synopsis
It is shown that optimization of the electroless deposition and the use of vacuum annealing yield dramatic decrease in the resistivity and its scatter in 100-and 50-nm silver-tungsten (Ag-W) films. Physical processes, which control the resistivity drop during low-temperature annealing and the residue resistivity in the annealed films are discussed.

Electroless deposited Co(W,P) thin films were evaluated as diffusion barriers for copper metallization. Capacitance versus time measurements of MOS structures as well as SIMS depth profiles indicate that 30-nm-thick films can function as effective barriers against copper diffusion after thermal trea
We studied electroless 50 nm films Ag (0.2-1.2 at.% W) which contain also some oxygen and were deposited onto SiO 2 /Si substrate. The films showed better corrosion resistance and hardness than pure Ag, but rather high electrical resistivity q which decayed fast after annealing at T P 100
