A thin film resistor u3 made of a thin film is mounted. This thin film resistor 3 is connected to both ends thereof with 4-pole wiring 4 . Also,

ることはできない。First, on a semiconductor substrate 1 made of Si or GaAs, a 5in2 film as an insulating GFF 2 is grown by chemical vapor deposition using about 4000 people. This S i O 2 film is used for the purpose of insulating the semiconductor substrate 1 from the thin film resistor formed thereon. Although a silicon nitride film (SiN film) is also known as an insulating film, it cannot be used because of its poor adhesion to the WN of the thin film resistor.

薄膜抵抗@3を形成する。The WN4 film is uniformly deposited by performing reactive sputtering with a DC power source of 300 W in a mixed atmosphere with a N2 partial pressure of 1 to 10 mTorr. Next, this WN thin film was processed into a resistor pattern using reactive ion etching using sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF6).
Form a thin film resistor @3.

ターニングにより、薄膜抵抗PJ3の両端に接続される
ようにして電極配線4を形成する。Subsequently, by electron beam evaporation and patterning of Ti, Pt, and Au, electrode wiring 4 is formed so as to be connected to both ends of the thin film resistor PJ3.
以上で一応WN薄膜抵抗N3と電極配線4が形成された
わけだが、WN薄膜の抵抗値やその温度係数は、反応性
スパッタリング蒸着におけろN2分圧に大きく依存する
。第2図に、WJ]i抵抗のシート抵抗値の温度係数と
、スパッタリング蒸着におけるN2分圧の関係を示す。Although the WN thin film resistor N3 and the electrode wiring 4 have been formed in the above manner, the resistance value of the WN thin film and its temperature coefficient largely depend on the N2 partial pressure even in reactive sputtering deposition. FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the temperature coefficient of the sheet resistance value of the WJ]i resistance and the N2 partial pressure during sputtering deposition.
ただし、スパッタ時間は1〜4分、膜厚は100〜40
0人である。However, the sputtering time is 1 to 4 minutes, and the film thickness is 100 to 40 minutes.
There are 0 people.
第2図より、温度係数とN2分圧の対数はほぼ直線関係

0 ppm7℃以内の温度係数が得られろ。そのとき、
比抵抗は約0.17Ω・傭となるので、膜厚340人と
すれば、50Ω/口のシート抵抗となる。From FIG. 2, it can be seen that the temperature coefficient and the logarithm of the N2 partial pressure have a substantially linear relationship. For example, if you want the temperature coefficient to be close to zero, if the N2 partial pressure is 1 mTorr, the temperature coefficient will be ±20
Obtain a temperature coefficient within 0 ppm 7°C. then,
The specific resistance is approximately 0.17Ω·min, so if the film thickness is 340 people, the sheet resistance will be 50Ω/mouth.

5%以内の均一性を持つ。Incidentally, the resistance value of the WN thin film largely depends on the surface condition before WN sputtering. In normal IC process,
After chemical vapor deposition of the i-film, through-holes are formed in the insulating film to make contact with the underlying wiring. However, when oxygen ashing is used to remove the resist for forming through-holes, the surface condition of the insulating film changes, and the resistance value of the WN# film deposited by sputtering on top of the insulating film changes compared to that of the so-called as-assembled film, in which no treatment is performed after chemical vapor deposition.・as-depo
) is approximately three times as large as that on an insulating film. Also,
The in-plane uniformity of the resistance value also deteriorates. In order to obtain a resistance value equivalent to that on the as-deposited insulating film, the resist must be chemically and completely removed using a remover rather than oxygen ashing. Alternatively, after oxygen ashing, it is necessary to slide-etch the insulating film surface with a dilute hydrofluoric acid of about 5%. If you do this, WNf4
The resistance value of the film is equivalent to that on the as-deposited insulating film, and the in-plane uniformity is within 5%.

Once formed, the resistance value of the WN thin film resistor 3 is then adjusted (trimmed). This resistance value is adjusted by annealing. Figure 3 shows the resistance value and annealing time when the WN thin film resistor path 3 was annealed at 380°C in an N2 atmosphere under the condition of a N2 partial pressure of 5 mTorr and 240 reactive sputtering vaporizers. It is a relationship diagram. The resistance value increases at a rate of 0.68% per minute with respect to the annealing time. The error is within 3%. Therefore, for example, when adjusting a 45Ω WN4 film resistor 3 to 50Ω, annealing may be performed for 16 minutes and 20 seconds.

A thin film resistor 3 having an arbitrary value of m (1!J difference ±200 ppm/°C) and an arbitrary resistance value of 10 to 100 Ω/unit (error ±3%) can be easily obtained.
