Notes:
The diffusivity of moisture along the TiN/SiO2 interface has been determined by imaging the inward diffusion of 18O and 2D from isotopically labeled water using a secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) technique. The diffusivity, at room temperature, of the 18O and 2D labeled species along the interface are indistinguishable and have a value of 6.0±2.0×10−13 cm2/s, four orders of magnitude faster than bulk diffusivity of the same species in the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition silica, also determined by SIMS. From 8 to 90 °C, the activation energies for interface and bulk diffusivities of the 2D labeled species are found to be 0.21 and 0.74 eV, respectively. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
