Abstract
We investigated the crystal structure, resistivity, and chemical states change of the tungsten nitride $(WN_x)$ films prepared by reactive sputtering method with various $N_2$ flow ratios. Crystal structures of $WN_x$ films deposited at the $N_2$ flow ratios of 20%, 40%, and 60% were bcc $\beta$-W, amorphous, and fcc $W_2$N, respectively. Surface roughness of $WN_x$ film was smallest when the $WN_x$ film is amorphous. After the air exposure of $WN_x$ films, $WO_3$ layer was formed at the surface of all samples. Both the nitrogen content of $WN_x$ film and the binding energy of W $4f_{7/2}$ peaks increased with increasing $N_2$ flow ratio. However, after $Ar^+$ ion etching, the shift of W $4f_{7/2}$ peaks was not observed with $N_2$ flow ratio due to the amorphization of the $WN_x$ film surface. The resistivity of $WN_x$ films increased with increasing $N_2$ flow ratio.
