Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of advanced electronic material preparation technology, in particular to a continuous synthesis method of cobalt-based alkyne precursor based on micro-reaction intensification. BACKGROUND

[0002] The cobalt-based alkyne precursor can be used for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of cobalt interconnection material in semiconductor devices and atomic layer deposition (ALD) process of high-precision cobalt thin film in semiconductor. However, the existing synthesis process faces technical bottlenecks, including: (1) uncontrollable reaction: when the cobalt alkyne complex is synthesized by traditional liquid phase method, the substitution reaction of Co2(CO)8 and alkyne is easy to proceed excessively, which leads to complete dissociation of CO ligand in the product, generating unstable Co(0) species, which cannot meet the requirements of precursor reactivity for thin film deposition. (2) poor selectivity: the proportion of by-products (such as polynuclear cobalt cluster compounds) is as high as 20-30%, which needs multiple purification, and the yield is less than 60%. (3) safety hazard: Co2(CO)8 is sensitive to oxygen, and intermittent reaction is easy to cause local overheating and release of CO gas. (4) large solvent consumption: the solvent consumption of intermittent reaction kettle is large.

[0003] Therefore, it is an urgent problem for those skilled in the art to provide a continuous synthesis method of cobalt-based alkyne precursor which is safe in reaction, can improve reaction selectivity, avoid cluster generation, reduce purification difficulty and improve yield. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a continuous synthesis method of cobalt-based alkyne precursor based on micro-reaction intensification.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A continuous synthesis method of cobalt-based alkyne precursor based on micro-reaction intensification, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) Pre-cool the Co2(CO)8 solution in n-hexane to-10℃ for standby;

[0008] (2) The Co2(CO)8 solution in n-hexane is introduced into the layered micro-reactor array under nitrogen protection to react, and after monitoring the product composition at the outlet of the layered micro-reactor array by mass spectrometry and Fourier infrared spectroscopy, the product is collected;

[0009] The layered micro-reactor array is composed of 3-6 micro-reactors in series; the micro-reactor is provided with at least one group of inverted triangular staggered baffles. When working, the inverted triangular staggered baffles are expanded under the impact of the material, and automatically closed when there is no material passing through.

[0010] Furthermore, the concentration of the hexane solution of Co2(CO)8 in step (1) is 0.05-0.12 mol / L.

[0011] Furthermore, in step (1), the mass ratio of Co2(CO)8 to 3,3-dimethyl-1-butyne is 1:1-1.5.

[0012] Furthermore, a temperature gradient is formed within the stacked microreactor array;

[0013] The inlet temperature of the stacked microreactor array is -10℃, and the outlet temperature is 40℃-60℃.

[0014] The throughput of the stacked microreactor array is 1.2 kg / h.

[0015] Furthermore, the microreactor has a diameter of 150 μm.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention prepares high-purity mononuclear cobalt carbonyl alkyne complexes via a controlled alkyne ligand substitution reaction in a continuous flow microchannel reactor. The compounds prepared by this invention can be used as key precursors in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of cobalt interconnect materials in semiconductor devices and in atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes for high-precision cobalt thin films in semiconductors.

[0017] This invention utilizes a microchannel reaction system with a passivation layer to precisely control the substitution reaction process and combines it with in-situ detection technology to achieve the directed synthesis and collection of specific coordination structures. The resulting products exhibit excellent thermal stability and vapor pressure characteristics, meeting the requirements for precursor materials in advanced semiconductor device manufacturing.
