Description

Organotin compound, method for preparing the same, and method for forming a thin film using the same

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel organotin compound, a method for producing the same, and a method for producing a tin-containing thin film using the same.

[0002] Recently, as the semiconductor industry progresses in miniaturization of devices, various metal atoms can be used as materials for thin film semiconductors. However, indium (In) and gallium (Ga) are expensive due to limited reserves, and cadmium (Cd) has disadvantages such as being toxic.

[0003] Photolithography, a semiconductor manufacturing process, is the process of creating precise circuit patterns on semiconductors. Photoresist, a type of photosensitive liquid that reacts with light to undergo chemical changes, is applied to the substrate. This, along with the exposure light source, determines the degree of detail achieved through photolithography. Research is actively underway to utilize extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light as the exposure light source. Due to the short wavelength and high energy of EUV, EUV lithography is more advantageous than other photolithography processes in producing finer patterns.

[0004] In the development of high-sensitivity EUV photoresists, the development of materials with excellent photosensitivity to extreme ultraviolet rays is important. Among metallic elements, elements with d orbitals have high EUV absorbance, and precursors containing these elements can have high absorbance, making them suitable as materials for manufacturing high-performance EUV photoresist materials.

[0005] Tin oxide is attracting attention as a substitute for the aforementioned thin film semiconductor materials because it is transparent, maintains high conductivity, and EUV absorbance. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD) are mainly used as processes for forming thin films. When forming thin films using the above processes, differences in the structure, deposition degree, deposition control characteristics, purity, etc. of the thin film can occur depending on the characteristics of the metal precursor. Therefore, the development of a tin oxide precursor with excellent characteristics is essential.

[0137] [Comparative Example 1] Preparation of organotin compound Sn(edpa)2

[0138]

[0139] Sn(btsa)2 (1.0 mmol) was dissolved in diethyl ether, edpaH (2.0 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction product was filtered, and the resulting solution was distilled (90 ℃ mTorr) under reduced pressure to remove byproducts that were not soluble in the solvent, and a transparent liquid compound, Sn(edpa)2, was obtained (0.34 mmol, yield 34%).

[0140] The TG analysis results of Sn(edpa)2 manufactured in Comparative Example 1 showed one mass reduction above 100°C, resulting in a total mass reduction of 82%.

[0141] Through the above examples and comparative examples, it was confirmed that the method for producing an organotin compound according to the present invention significantly improves the yield of the desired product, and in the case of the compound of Comparative Example 1, which has a structure in which only two alkoxyalkylamide chelate ligands are bonded to a central metal, it was confirmed that it has significantly lower thermal stability and volatility compared to the organotin compound according to the present invention.

[0142] That is, the organotin compound according to the present invention is in a liquid state at room temperature and pressure, is thermally stable, and has high volatility. Therefore, when employed as a thin film precursor in a thin film deposition process, it is expected to be advantageously used to grow a high-quality thin film with excellent reliability and uniformity at a relatively low temperature, making the deposition process easy.

[0143] While the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. Therefore, modifications to future embodiments of the present invention will not depart from the scope of the invention.
