Abstract

An accurate and user friendly tool for the simulation of Ti/TiN sputter deposition processes has been developed. Simulations have been compared to SEM measurements, which exhibit excellent agreement for both, the collimated as well as the uncollimated case. A final test showed that this simulator is capable of predicting the deposited film on the collimator sidewalls.
