Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of distillation technology, and more specifically, to a vacuum distillation apparatus and method for electronic-grade organometallic precursors. Background Technology
[0002] As chip manufacturing processes continue to shrink, the thickness of the gate dielectric layer in metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is constantly decreasing. Using silicon dioxide thin films as the gate dielectric layer presents a problem where electrons tunnel directly through the interface barrier between the silicon dioxide film and the substrate. Replacing silicon dioxide-deposited films with high-dielectric-constant materials as the gate dielectric layer can significantly reduce this phenomenon, while also meeting the demands for increased transistor switching speed and smaller transistor fabrication. Zirconium-based and hafnium-based materials have become key choices for gate dielectric materials, with significant market potential. Metal-organic precursors can be deposited on substrate materials using processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD), and can be applied in semiconductor, microelectronics, optoelectronics, and lithium-ion battery electrode manufacturing. Transistor gate dielectric film fabrication is an important downstream market for these precursors.
[0003] As a "bottleneck" material in semiconductor manufacturing, the technological breakthroughs and market expansion of metal-organic precursors directly affect the competitiveness of the global semiconductor industry. However, the high boiling point and easy decomposition of metal-organic precursors mean that traditional atmospheric distillation methods consume a lot of energy and have a rapid decomposition rate, affecting the purity and yield of the product.
[0004] By employing vacuum distillation, the operating pressure of the system is reduced, thereby lowering the distillation temperature, reducing product decomposition, ensuring product purity, and reducing energy consumption. For example, patent number CN114669071A mentions a vacuum distillation apparatus and method for silicon-based electronic products, including a raw material tank, a distillation unit, a product tank, and a recooling unit. This invention can solve problems in existing technologies such as high operating temperatures, high consumption of heating media during production, long process flows in traditional vacuum distillation devices, and unstable control. Another example is patent number CN201949674U, which mentions a chemical vacuum distillation apparatus, comprising a distillation kettle, a packed tower, a condenser, a buffer tank, and a balance tank. This apparatus can effectively reduce oxidation and polymerization during distillation, ensuring stable operation of the distillation separation process.
[0005] However, traditional vacuum distillation in the chemical industry has disadvantages such as long equipment process, high energy consumption, and difficulty in control, which makes it difficult to maintain the purity and stability of electronic-grade organometallic precursors. Therefore, how to provide a solution to overcome or alleviate the above-mentioned defects is still a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0015] A method for vacuum distillation of electronic-grade organometallic precursors includes the following steps: The organometallic precursor in the feed tank is conveyed to the distillation column via nitrogen pressurization. The material is then purified by distillation. The pressure in the distillation column is stabilized by controlling the nitrogen and vacuum regulating valves. The column is heated by controlling the temperature of the heat transfer oil in the reboiler jacket. The material in the reboiler is stirred by the agitator. The vaporized material rises through the packing to the top tube heat exchanger. The rising vapor is cooled and condensed into a liquid phase by controlling the temperature of the cooling oil, then refluxed and collected. Initially, the crude product collection valve and the crude product tank feed valve are opened to allow the collected product to be collected. The light components are collected into the crude product tank. When the absolute pressure at the material outlet of the crude product tank is 100~500Pa and the temperature reaches 80~120℃, the crude product outlet valve and the crude product tank feed valve are closed, and the product outlet valve and the product tank feed valve are opened to collect the material into the product tank. By controlling the opening of the nitrogen regulating valves of the crude product tank and the product tank, the pressure inside the crude product tank is lower than the pressure at the material outlet of the crude product tank and the pressure inside the product tank is lower than the pressure at the material outlet of the product tank, ensuring that the material is collected into the crude product tank and the product tank respectively. Once the crude product tank is full, close the crude product discharge valve and the crude product tank vacuum regulating valve, open the crude product tank nitrogen regulating valve, control the pressure inside the crude product tank to 0.01 MPa~0.1 MPa, open the crude product tank discharge valve, and transfer the material in the crude product tank to a pressure cylinder or other container for further distillation and purification; once the product tank is full, close the product discharge valve and the product tank vacuum regulating valve, open the product tank nitrogen regulating valve, control the pressure inside the product tank to 0.01 MPa~0.1 MPa, open the product tank discharge valve, and transfer the product in the product tank to the sampling and filling glove box for sampling and analysis. After the results are qualified, with a main content ≥99.5% and metal ions meeting 6N (99.9999%), the product cylinder will be filled. The vacuum regulating valves of the distillation column, crude product tank, and product tank are all connected to the bottom pipe of the cold trap. The temperature of the cold trap is controlled by cooling oil, and the pressure in the cold trap is controlled by a vacuum pump between 5 and 100 Pa. The exhaust gas from the vacuum pump is collected and treated.
[0016] Furthermore, the organometallic precursor includes any one of other thermosensitive organometallic precursors such as (n-propylcyclopentadienyl)tris(dimethylamino)zirconium, (cyclopentadienyl)tris(dimethylamino)zirconium, and (cyclopentadienyl)tris(dimethylamino)hafnium.

The material in the crude product tank is further purified by distillation, increasing the yield.

In step 11), when the absolute pressure at the material outlet of the crude product tank is 100~500Pa and the temperature reaches 80~120℃, close the crude product outlet valve (7) and the crude product tank feed valve (10), open the product outlet valve (12) and the product tank feed valve (14), and collect the material into the product tank (15). By controlling the opening of the nitrogen regulating valves (9), (13), (18), and (19) of the crude product tank (11) and the product tank (15), ensure that the pressure in the crude product tank (11) is lower than the pressure at the material outlet of the crude product tank and the pressure in the product tank (15) is lower than the pressure at the material outlet of the product tank, and ensure that the material is collected into the crude product tank (11) and the product tank (15) respectively. Once the crude product tank (11) is full, close the crude product discharge valve (7) and the crude product tank vacuum regulating valve (18), open the crude product tank nitrogen regulating valve (9), control the pressure inside the crude product tank (11) to 0.01Mpa~0.1Mpa, open the crude product tank discharge valve (8), and transfer the material inside the crude product tank (11) into a pressure cylinder or other container for further distillation and purification; once the product tank (15) is full, close the product discharge valve (12) and the product tank vacuum regulating valve (19), open the product tank nitrogen regulating valve (13), control the pressure inside the product tank (15) to 0.01Mpa~0.1Mpa, open the product tank discharge valve (16), and press the product in the product tank (15) into the sampling and filling glove box (17) for sampling and analysis. After the results are qualified, the main content is ≥99.5%, and the metal ions meet 6N, and the product cylinder is filled. The vacuum regulating valve (20) of the distillation column, the vacuum regulating valve (18) of the crude product tank and the vacuum regulating valve (19) of the product tank are all connected to the bottom pipe of the cold trap (21). The temperature of the cold trap (21) is controlled by cooling oil. The pressure in the cold trap (21) is controlled by a vacuum pump (23) between 5 and 100 Pa. The exhaust gas of the vacuum pump is collected and treated.
