Abstract

Cu films were deposited on Si (100) substrates at substrate bias voltages of 0V and -50V by non-mass separated ion beam deposition. SIMS and GDMS were used to determine the impurity concentrations of a Cu target and Cu films. According to the quantitative GDMS results, many unknown peaks observed in the SIMS spectra of the Cu films were assigned to cluster states such as C xHx, OxHx, and CxO xHx. Moreover, it was found that the dominant impurities in the films were H, C, N, and O elements.
