Abstract

A method for forming a titanium nitride layer. A pre-heating step is performed, wherein a substrate is placed in a chamber comprising inert gas with a pre-heating pressure between 0.1˜3 torr. A TiN deposition step is then performed, wherein the substrate is placed in a reactive gas at least comprising NH3 and TiCl4, and the first TiN deposition step has a reactive pressure of more than 5 torr and a reactive temperature of more than 500° C.
