摘要： Methods for forming thin, low resistivity metal layers, such as tungsten (W) and ruthenium (Ru) layers. The methods include depositing a metal material onto a substrate via ion beam deposition with assist in a process chamber at a temperature of at least 250° C. to produce the metal film. A resulting thin tungsten film has large and highly oriented α(110) grains having a resistivity less than 9 μΩ-cm and thickness less than 300 Å, with no discernable β-phase. A resulting thin ruthenium film has a resistivity less than 10 μΩ-cm and a thickness less than 300 Å.
