You can sputter on the tungsten.

Because tungsten does not have good adhesion to SiO2 (or to SiNx), first
sputter on a 50-100 A layer of Ti, TiN, TiW, Cr, or another adhesion layer.
Then sputter on the tungsten without breaking vacuum. Thus, you need a
sputtering system with multiple targets.

For an example of a process flow to deposit and pattern tungsten, see

file Ch7_proc.flow.pdf, p. 174.

If you want to deposit thicker tungsten, you'll probably need to work on
stress control by varying the pressure or power until the stress is low.
If not, the film will delaminate or break the wafer.
