Abstract

1368139 Printed circuits; resistors LIGNES TELEGRAPHIQUES ET TELEPHONIQUES 26 Oct 1971 [5 Nov 1970] 49751/71 Headings H1R and HIS A process for providing localized electric contacts on a tantalum nitride thin film circuit comprises successively depositing a layer a pure tantalum and a layer of the contact forming metal on the circuit film, and subsequently etching the top layer except at the contact locations. A glass substrate 1 is provided with a protective layer 2 of Ta 2 O 5 , a layer 3 of Ta 2 N which provides a resistive film, and a layer 4 of pure Ta, the layers being produced by cathode sputtering of a tantalum target in a vacuum vessel in which there is respectively a partial oxygen pressure for the Ta 2 O 5 layer, a partial nitrogen pressure for the Ta 2 N layer and no active gas for the Ta layer. A final gold layer 5 is also applied by cathode sputtering. Layer 5 is then coated with a layer of photo-resist resin and exposed through a photographic film, and the unwanted resin is washed off to leave a mask 6 over those areas where contacts are required. Layers 5 and, 3 and 4 are subsequently successively etched, for example aqua regia being used to dissolve the gold and a mixture of hydrafluoric and nitric acids to dissolve the Ta and Ta 2 N, a mask 7 being used during the latter operation to protect those areas where resistive patterns are required. The resistance of the resulting circuit may be adjusted by anodic oxidation of the Ta layer. A silicon transistor (Fig. 6, not shown) may be provided and secured by alloying a silicon wafer with one of the gold contacts and a capacitor may be constructed by depositing a dielectric and second electrode on the contact (Fig. 7, not shown).
