Description

The composition of tungsten silicide (WSi/sub x/) deposited by chemical vapor deposition on silicon and silicon dioxide substrates was studied. The composition x changed from 2.7 to 2.2 with varying WF/sub 6/ flow rate from 6 to 20 cm/sup 3//min in the deposition on silicon. When annealing was performed at 10000C, the dissociation of excess silicon occurred from the nonstoichiometric silicide in the layer on the silicon. As a result, the composition of each layer, which was different when deposited, tended toward the same composition of around 2.1. This result indicated the formation of near-stoichiometric silicide as a result of annealing
