CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This is a continuation-in-part application of patent application Ser. No. 09 / 660,546 filed on Sep. 12, 2000, now abandoned.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] The present invention relates generally to a method for depositing a metallic nitride series thin film, typically a TiN-series thin film, which is used as, e.g., a barrier layer, a capacitor top electrode, a gate electrode or a contact part, in a semiconductor device.
[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] In the production of semiconductor devices, the construction of circuits tends to have a multilayer metallization structure on a recent demand for higher density and higher density integration. Therefore, an embedding technique for electrical connections between layers, such as a contact hole which is a connecting part between a bottom semiconductor device layer and a top wiring layer, and a via hole which is a connecting part between top ...
