The RF magnetron plasma, which is denser than conventional DC magnetron plasma, ionizes sputtered metal atoms efficiently, and the substrate bias accelerates the ionized metal atoms perpendicularly to the substrate surface. Experimental results show that the plasma density of the BDS is higher than that of the conventional DC magnetron plasma. The ionization rate of the sputtered metal atoms reaches more than 90% at 13Pa. Consequently, excellent step coverage is obtained for high aspect ratio (AR) holes by the BDS deposition.}, pages = {17--26}, title = {Development of Biased Directional Sputtering(BDS) for Semiconductor Devices}, volume = {25}, year = {2000} }
