Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a cyclosilazane compound used as a precursor of a low-dielectric silicon-containing film, a composition for depositing a silicon-containing film containing the cyclosilazane compound, and a method for preparing a silicon-containing film using the cyclosilazane compound. Background Art
[0002] Silicon thin films prepared by various deposition methods such as atomic layer deposition (ALD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are used as semiconductor substrates, diffusion masks, anti-oxidation films, dielectric films, and insulating films in semiconductor technology.
[0003] On the other hand, it is very important for the insulating film used as spacer in semiconductor devices to have a low dielectric constant and excellent etching resistance. In addition, in order to be applied to actual processes, conditions such as simple process, excellent chemical stability and thermal stability must be met. Therefore, the requirements for the physical properties of the insulating film used as spacer for next-generation semiconductor devices are becoming increasingly higher.
[0004] To this end, research continues to lower the dielectric constant of silicon thin films. However, there are challenges with achieving a sufficiently low dielectric constant, reducing thermal stability and etching resistance, and lowering productivity due to slow film formation speeds. Furthermore, as a solution to simultaneously achieve both a low dielectric constant and etching resistance in silicon thin films, fluorine (F) doping has been proposed after the silicon-containing film is formed. However, this requires an additional fluorine doping step, complicating the process. Furthermore, doping primarily occurs near the film surface, making it difficult to perform fluorine doping deeper than the surface. Consequently, this poses limitations, such as reduced film quality.

[0101] The cyclosilazane compound according to one aspect may be selected from the following structures, but is not limited thereto.
[0102]
[0103] Hereinafter, a method for preparing the cyclosilazane compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 according to one aspect will be specifically described. However, it is apparent that the compound can also be synthesized by other methods recognized by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the organic solvent used is not limited, and the reaction time and temperature can of course be varied without departing from the core of the invention.
[0104] According to one aspect, a method for preparing the cyclosilazane compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 may include step (A): reacting a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula 11 and a compound represented by Chemical Formula 12.
[0105] [Chemical Formula 11]
[0106]
[0107] [Chemical Formula 12]
[0108] R4-NH2
[0109] (In the chemical formulas 11 and 12,
[0110] Y1 and Y2 are each independently Cl or Br;
[0111] R1 to R6, X and A are the same as those defined in Chemical Formula 1.
[0112] In addition, the method for preparing the cyclosilazane compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 according to one aspect may further include a step (B) of reacting a fluorine source after the step (A).
[0113] The step (A) can be carried out at a temperature of 0°C to 30°C for 1 to 10 hours, specifically, at a temperature of 10°C to 30°C for 1 to 5 hours, but is not limited thereto and can be varied according to the type and amount of reactants and solvents used.
[0114] The fluorine source can be selected from alkali metal fluorides such as LiF, KF, NaF, RbF, CsF, or transition metal fluorides such as AgF, AgF2, ZnF2, CuF2, CuF2·H2O, NiF2, SnF2, InF3, ScF3, TiF3, MnF3, CoF3, CrF3, AuF3, FeF3, MnF3, BiF3, SbF3, but is not limited thereto.
[0115] In addition, the step (B) can be carried out at a temperature of 30°C to 70°C for 5 to 20 hours, specifically, at a temperature of 40°C to 60°C for 10 to 20 hours, but is not limited thereto and can be changed according to the type and amount of the reactants and solvents used.
[0116] Another aspect of the present invention provides a composition for depositing a silicon-containing thin film, comprising the cyclosilazane compound.
[0117] According to one aspect, a composition for depositing a silicon-containing thin film includes a cyclosilazane compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 as a precursor for depositing the thin film. The content of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 in the composition may be within a range that can be recognized by a person skilled in the art based on considerations of film formation conditions, thickness of the thin film, properties of the thin film, and application of the thin film.
[0118] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a silicon-containing thin film, using a cyclosilazane compound represented by the following Chemical Formula 1, or a composition for depositing a silicon-containing thin film comprising the cyclosilazane compound.
[0119] [Chemical Formula 1]
[0120]
[0121] (In the chemical formula 1,
[0122] R1 to R6, X and A are the same as those defined in Chemical Formula 1.
[0123] According to one aspect of the method for preparing a silicon-containing thin film, a high-quality silicon-containing thin film can be prepared at a high deposition rate even at low temperature and low power by using the cyclosilazane compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 as a precursor.
[0124] Specifically, the silicon-containing film according to one aspect may be a fluorine- and silicon-containing film. In the method for preparing a silicon-containing film according to one aspect, if the cyclosilazane compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 contains fluorine (F), the fluorine (F) of the cyclosilazane compound remains in the film, thereby providing a low-dielectric-constant, high-quality fluorine- and silicon-containing film.
[0125] Specifically, according to one aspect, the silicon-containing film may contain fluorine at more than 0.5 at%, or more than 1.0 at%, or more than 1.5 at%, or more than 2.0 at%, or more than 2.5 at%, or less than 10 at%, or less than 9 at%, or less than 8 at%, or less than 7 at%.
[0126] According to one aspect, a cyclosilazane compound has the advantage of being able to prepare a thin film containing both fluorine and silicon using a single precursor. Specifically, a thin film containing fluorine and silicon is typically doped with fluorine using a fluorine-containing precursor after the silicon-containing film is prepared. This disadvantageously results in an uneven fluorine content within the film. In contrast, the method for preparing a silicon-containing thin film of the present invention overcomes this disadvantage, enabling the preparation of a fluorine-containing and silicon thin film having a uniform fluorine content using a single precursor.
[0127] In the method for preparing a silicon-containing thin film according to one aspect, the cyclosilazane compound and the reaction gas may be supplied organically or independently. In addition, the cyclosilazane compound and the reaction gas may be supplied continuously or discontinuously, and the discontinuous supply may include a pulse form.
[0128] As an example, the method for preparing the silicon-containing thin film may include:
[0129] Step a), maintaining the temperature of the substrate installed in the chamber above 100° C.;
[0130] Step b), adsorbing the cyclosilazane compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a composition for depositing a silicon-containing thin film comprising the cyclosilazane compound onto a substrate; and
[0131] Step c) injecting a reaction gas into the substrate on which the cyclosilazane compound or the composition for depositing a silicon-containing thin film containing the cyclosilazane compound is adsorbed, so as to deposit a silicon-containing thin film.
[0132] Specifically, the method for preparing the silicon-containing thin film may include:
[0133] Step a), maintaining the temperature of the substrate installed in the chamber above 100° C.;
[0134] Step b), adsorbing the cyclosilazane compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a composition for depositing a silicon-containing thin film comprising the cyclosilazane compound onto a substrate; and
[0135] Step c), purging the residual cyclosilazane compound or the residual composition for thin film deposition and by-products;
[0136] Step d), injecting a reaction gas into the substrate adsorbed with the cyclosilazane compound or the composition for thin film deposition containing the cyclosilazane compound to form a silicon-containing thin film; and
[0137] Step e) purging the remaining reaction gas and by-products.
[0138] In addition, as an example, the method for preparing the silicon-containing thin film may include:
[0139] maintaining the temperature of the substrate mounted in the chamber at 100° C. or higher; and
[0140] A step of simultaneously injecting the cyclosilazane compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a composition for depositing a silicon-containing thin film containing the cyclosilazane compound and a reaction gas to deposit a silicon-containing thin film.
[0141] The deposition method is not particularly limited as long as it is commonly used in the field. For example, thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) can be used, but are not limited thereto.
[0142] The type of the reaction gas is not particularly limited as long as it is commonly used in the field. As an example, it can be oxygen (O2), ozone (O3), oxygen plasma, hydrogen (H2), hydrogen plasma, water (H2O), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitric oxide (NO), nitrous oxide (N2O), ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2), formic acid (HCOOH), acetic acid (CH3COOH), acetic anhydride ((CH3CO)2O), or a combination thereof. The gas used for purge can be nitrogen (N2), argon (Ar), helium (He), or a combination thereof.
[0143] The substrate is not particularly limited as long as it is commonly used in the field. For example, it can be a substrate containing one or more semiconductor materials of Si, Ge, SiGe, GaP, GaAs, SiC, SiGeC, InAs and InP; a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate; a quartz substrate; or a glass substrate for display; a flexible plastic substrate of polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polyethersulfone (PES), polyester (PE), etc.
[0144] In addition, in addition to forming a thin film directly on the substrate, the silicon-containing thin film may also form a plurality of conductive layers, dielectric layers, or insulating layers between the substrate and the silicon-containing thin film.
[0145] As an example, specifically, the temperature of the substrate can be adjusted to 100°C to 1000°C, or 300°C to 1000°C, or 500°C to 1000°C. Under the temperature conditions, the fluorine (F) of the cyclosilazane compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 can remain in the film, and a high-quality fluorine-and-silicon-containing film can be provided, and a film with a lower dielectric constant can be provided.
[0146] As an example, the reaction gas may be supplied after generating and activating plasma of 50 W to 1000 W, or 100 W to 800 W, or 400 W to 600 W.
[0147] That is, according to one aspect of the method for preparing a silicon-containing thin film, the compound of Chemical Formula 1 is used as a precursor, so that the thin film can be efficiently prepared even under low temperature and low plasma generation.
[0148] In addition, one aspect of the present invention provides a silicon-containing thin film prepared by the preparation method.
[0149] According to one aspect, the silicon-containing film can be any film that can be prepared within the scope recognized by ordinary technicians in the technical field. Specifically, it can be a fluorinated silicon carbide film, a fluorinated silicon oxide film, a fluorinated silicon film, a silicon carbide film, etc. In addition, various high-quality silicon-containing films can be prepared within the scope recognized by ordinary technicians in this field.
[0150] According to one aspect, the silicon-containing film not only has excellent chemical stability and thermal stability, but also has a very low dielectric constant, and can therefore be used for a variety of purposes, for example, as an insulating film, diffusion barrier film, spacer, dielectric material between metals, and protective film layer when preparing electronic devices.
[0151] The above embodiments will be described in more detail below by way of examples. However, the following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims.
[0152] The physical properties of the examples were measured as follows.

[0154] In order to measure the thermal stability, volatility and decomposition temperature of the cyclosilazane compounds, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA, thermogravimetric analyzer model: L81-II, manufacturer: LINSEIS, Germany) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis were performed.
