[0049] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application or the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for the description of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments recorded in the present application.

[0050] Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of an implementation manner of the method for improving the electrical properties of the metal film in the present application. Detailed Embodiments

[0051] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0052] Group IVB metals include titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), and hafnium (Hf), which belong to transition metals and have active chemical properties. They can form compounds with a variety of non-metallic elements.

[0053] In the field of functional material preparation, especially in the chip manufacturing method, group IVB metal oxides, such as titanium oxide (TiO2), zirconium oxide (ZrO2), hafnium oxide (HfO2), and rare earth oxides, due to their high dielectric constant (high-K) properties, are widely used as iterative materials for SiO2 in the manufacture of semiconductor materials with large-scale integration or high-capacity storage. Therefore, it is crucial to select a suitable precursor material for forming this type of metal oxide or nitride thin film. When using thin film preparation processes, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD), the metal precursor compound is required to have high vapor pressure, thermal stability, chemical stability, low toxicity, etc.

[0054] 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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0058] S100, mixing a precursor of a first concentration, a dopant of a second concentration, and a solvent of a third concentration to obtain a composition, and vaporizing the mixture to form a gas-phase metal source.

[0059] 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.

[0060] [General formula 6] ; [Formula 7] ;

[0061] 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.

[0062] [General formula 1] ; [Formula 2] ;

[0063] [General formula 3] ; [Formula 4] ;

[0064] [Formula 5] ;

[0065] 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;

[0066] R1 to R5 are each independently selected from the following groups: H, C1 to C6 groups;

[0067] R6 to R8 are each independently selected from the following groups: C1 to C6 groups;

[0068] R9 to R 11 are each independently selected from the following groups: H, C1 to C6 groups;

[0069] m, n, k are each independently selected from: 1, 2, 3;

[0070] L1 to L4 are each independently selected from -1 valence anion ligands consisting of one or more of the following groups: NR'2, OR', R'Cp, amidino, β-diketone, and ketimine, where R' is H or a C1 to C6 group, and adjacent R' can be joined to form a hydrocarbon ring.

[0071] Among them, the C1 to C6 groups are linear, branched, or cyclic groups, the C1 to C6 groups are saturated, mono-unsaturated, or poly-unsaturated groups, and the C1 to C6 groups are optionally substituted with 0, 1, or more fluorine atoms.

[0072] In one embodiment, in the solute of the composition, the mass fraction of the precursor at the first concentration can be greater than or equal to 90%, the mass fraction of the dopant at the second concentration can be less than or equal to 10%, and the concentration of the dopant at the second concentration is greater than or equal to 1 ppt.

[0073] In one embodiment, the mass fraction of the solvent at the third concentration in the composition can be 0 to 50%; the solvent can be one or a combination of saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons, ketones, ethers, esters, tetrahydrofuran, amines, sulfides, and phosphine organic compounds of C1 to C16.

[0074] After mixing the dopant at the second concentration and the precursor at the first concentration and vaporizing them, the two can be vaporized together to form a gaseous metal source for depositing and preparing a doped oxide film.

[0075] In one embodiment, vaporization can specifically be heating the composition at 50 to 120 °C.

[0076] S200, Introduce the gaseous metal source into the reaction chamber equipped with a substrate, and supply a reactive gas or plasma of the reactive gas into the reaction chamber to deposit a metal film on the substrate.

[0077] Introducing the gaseous metal source and the reactive gas into the reaction chamber together can cause a reaction and deposit the resulting metal film on the substrate.

[0078] In one embodiment, when directly supplying a reactive gas into the reaction chamber is selected, the reactive gas may include one or a combination of more of oxygen, ozone, water vapor, hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen, ammonia, nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and hydrazine.

[0079] In another embodiment, when supplying a plasma of a reactive gas into the reaction chamber is selected, the plasma may be a radio frequency plasma, a direct current plasma, or a remote plasma of the above various reactive gases, and all can achieve the effects of this embodiment.

[0080] In one embodiment, during the reaction process, the temperature in the reaction chamber may be 100 to 380 °C, so as to continuously react to generate an oxide.

[0081] In this application, by adding a dopant with a specific structure to the precursor, the experimental results show that the electrical properties of the thin film can be significantly improved, which may be due to the change in the carbon chain of the ligand molecule functional group compared with that before doping. According to the literature reports, the difference in the precursor ligand molecule structure is closely related to the electrical properties of the formed thin film. When the carbon chain of the ligand molecule functional group is different, under the same thin film deposition conditions, the thickness and crystal plane structure of the formed thin film will have certain differences, and directly affect the electrical properties such as the capacitance density, dielectric constant, and leakage rate of the thin film.

[0082] This application also provides a precursor composition for improving the electrical properties of a metal film. This precursor composition can be applied to a CVD or ALD process as a precursor to react with a reactive gas to deposit a metal oxide thin film. Compared with the traditional single-component precursor, this composition can significantly improve the dielectric constant and capacitance density of the thin film and enhance the electrical properties of the thin film.

[0083] Specifically, this composition includes:

[0084] 1) A precursor at a first concentration, selected from one or a combination of more of the following general formula 1, general formula 2, general formula 3, general formula 4, and general formula 5;

[0097] Among them, the C1 to C6 group is a linear, branched or cyclic group, the C1 to C6 group is a saturated, mono-unsaturated or poly-unsaturated group, and the C1 to C6 group is optionally substituted with 0, 1 or more fluorine atoms
