[0014] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0015] Group IVB metals include titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr) and hafnium (Hf). They are transition metals with active chemical properties and can form compounds with a variety of non-metallic elements.

[0016] In the field of functional material preparation, especially chip manufacturing methods, Group IVB metal oxides, such as titanium oxide (TiO2), zirconium oxide (ZrO2), hafnium oxide (HfO2) and rare earth oxides, are widely used as iterative materials of SiO2 in the manufacture of semiconductor materials with large-scale integration or high-capacity storage due to their high dielectric constant (high-K) properties. Therefore, it is crucial to select precursor materials suitable for forming this type of metal oxide or nitride film. When using thin film preparation processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD), metal precursor compounds need to have high vapor pressure, thermal stability and chemical stability, low toxicity and other requirements.

[0017] Currently, the IVB group metal precursors commonly used in MOCVD and ALD processes all utilize a single IVB group metal precursor and a reactive gas to react and deposit a single pure oxide film. The research and development and application of mixed oxides, stacked oxides, and doped oxide films are very promising, so the development of metal precursor compositions is of great significance for the realization of the above functional films.

[0018] The applicant has developed a method for significantly improving the dielectric constant and capacitance density of thin films by precursor doping for application scenarios that require high dielectric constant and high capacitance density. This method adds dopants to conventional Group IVB metal precursors to help improve the dielectric constant and capacitance density of the film.

[0019] Specifically, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a flow chart of an implementation method of the present application for improving the electrical properties of a metal film.

[0021] First, in the method of this embodiment, a dopant of a second concentration is added to a precursor of a first concentration. The dopant can be selected from one or a combination of two of the following general formulas 6 and 7.

[0022] [General formula 6] ; [Formula 7] ; In one embodiment, the precursor of the first concentration may be selected from one or more combinations of the following Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3, Formula 4 and Formula 5.

[0023] [General formula 1] ; [Formula 2] ; [General formula 3] ; [Formula 4] ; [Formula 5] ; In the general formulas 1 to 7, M1 is Ti, Zr or Hf, M2 is Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta, La or Ce, M3 is Mg, M4 is Al, In or Ga; M5 is Si, Ge or Sn; R1 to R5 are each independently selected from the following groups: H, C1 to C6 groups; R6 to R8 are each independently selected from the following groups: C1 to C6 groups; R9 to R 11 Each is independently selected from the following groups: H, C1 to C6 groups; m, n, k are each independently selected from: 1, 2, 3; L1 to L4 are each independently selected from a -1-valent anionic ligand consisting of one or more of the following groups: NR'2, OR', R'Cp, amidine, β-diketone and ketimine, R' is H or a C1 to C6 group, and adjacent R's may be joined to form a hydrocarbon ring.

[0024] Among them, the C1 to C6 groups are straight-chain, branched or cyclic groups, the C1 to C6 groups are saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated groups, and the C1 to C6 groups are optionally substituted with 0, 1 or more fluorine atoms.

[0025] In one embodiment, in the solute of the composition, the mass fraction of the precursor at the first concentration may be greater than or equal to 90%, the mass fraction of the dopant at the second concentration may be less than or equal to 10%, and the concentration of the dopant at the second concentration may be greater than or equal to 1 ppt.

[0026] In one embodiment, the mass fraction of the solvent in the third concentration in the composition can be 0-50%; the solvent can be one or more combinations of C1-C16 saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons, ketones, ethers, esters, tetrahydrofuran, amines, sulfides, and phosphine organic compounds.

[0027] The dopant of the second concentration and the precursor of the first concentration are mixed and then vaporized, so that the two can be vaporized together to form a gas metal source for deposition to prepare a doped oxide film.

[0028] In one embodiment, the gasification may be specifically heating the composition at 50-120°C.

[0029] S200, introducing a gas phase metal source into a reaction chamber equipped with a substrate, and supplying a reactive gas or a plasma of a reactive gas into the reaction chamber to deposit a metal film on the substrate.

[0034] This application adds a dopant of a specific structure to the precursor, and the experimental results show that the electrical properties of the film can be significantly improved. This may be due to the change of the carbon chain of the functional group of the ligand molecule compared to before doping. According to literature reports, the difference in the molecular structure of the precursor ligand is closely related to the electrical properties of the film formed. The carbon chain of the functional group of the ligand molecule is different. Under the same film deposition conditions, the thickness and crystal structure of the film formed will have certain differences, which will directly affect the electrical properties of the film such as capacitance density, dielectric constant and leakage rate.

In one embodiment, in the solute of the composition, the mass fraction of the precursor at the first concentration may be greater than or equal to 90%, the mass fraction of the dopant at the second concentration may be less than or equal to 10%, and the concentration of the dopant at the second concentration may be greater than or equal to 1 ppt.

[0037] In one embodiment, the mass fraction of the solvent of the third concentration can be 0-50%, and the solvent can be one or more combinations of C1-C16 saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons, ketones, ethers, esters, tetrahydrofuran, amines, sulfides, and phosphine organic compounds, all of which can achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0038] In the composition of the present application, the precursor and the dopant in any of the above embodiments do not react with each other in a liquid state and can exist in a stable and uniformly mixed state.

[0039] In one embodiment, the second concentration of dopant may be selected from the following compounds, but is not limited thereto: ; In one embodiment, the precursor of the first concentration may be selected from the following compounds, but is not limited thereto: .
