Abstract

The microstructure of Al films deposited on GaAs(100) 2×4 surfaces through chemical vapor deposition from dimethylethylamine alane in the 100-160°C temperature range exhibits a dominant (111) texture which is not encountered in evaporated films. Such a texture has been associated with enhanced electromigration resistance in related systems. Growth of (111)-oriented grains is observed when the deposition rate is limited by the surface reaction of the impinging precursor molecules, while at higher temperatures (160-400°C) only the conventional texture is observed
