Abstract

In situ measurement of resistance has been used for the realtime monitoring of metallorganic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth characteristics. In particular, a novel technique for measuring metallorganic CVD activation energies is presented. The micron scale geometry of the experiment makes it relevant to work in localized laser CVD. The technique has been used to measure the CVD activation energy of dimethylaluminum hydride (DMAlH). In addition, a variant of the technique has been used to study the growth stage of a resistless two-step metallization process (nucleation / selective CVD) employing DMAIH as the source gas in both steps.
