Abstract

A kinetic study of the titanium nitride growth by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) from gas‐phase was carried out. Experiments were performed in the temperature range of 600–900°C and in the total pressure range of 20 to 73 Pa. Partial pressures ranges were 0.4 to 2.5 Pa for , 5 to 43 Pa for , and 13 to 28 Pa for The following law of deposition was obtained A model was developed to explain the difference between these results and the published results, and to point out the importance of gas injection configuration on the experimental reaction orders and on the apparent activation energies. When (respectively, ) is injected quite near the substrate, this species is strongly adsorbed on the surface, and the available sites for adsorption (respectively, ) are reduced. Then the reaction order with respect to (respectively, is negative, and the rate‐determining step is the adsorption of (respectively, ). When these two species are injected far from the substrate, the rate‐determining step is the reaction between adsorbed and adsorbed NH or .
