Abstract:
Integrated circuits with tungsten components having a smooth surface and methods for producing such integrated circuits are provided. A method of producing the integrated circuits includes forming a nucleation layer overlying a substrate and within a cavity, where the nucleation layer includes tungsten. A nucleation layer thickness is reduced, and a fill layer if formed overlying the nucleation layer.
