Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a molybdenum compound, a method for producing the same, and a method for producing a molybdenum-containing thin film containing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Various thin film deposition methods have been developed and applied in the semiconductor device field, which can be, for example, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD), etc.

[0003] In chemical vapor deposition processes, volatile metal precursor forms, including metals such as tungsten and ruthenium, are adsorbed onto a substrate and then reacted or decomposed on the surface to produce a deposit.

[0004] In atomic layer deposition (ALD), reactants are supplied in intermittent steps and decomposed through chemical exchange to form metal-containing thin films. ALD can be performed at lower temperatures than chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which is advantageous not only for thin film formation but also for processing.

[0005] Additionally, plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition processes provide reactants in the form of a plasma on the surface of the substrate to promote layer growth. Generally, a plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition system includes a plasma source and optional gas flow regulators with an RF power source.

[0006] With the development of various thin film deposition methods as mentioned above, precursors containing metals have become a very important part. Since thin films grow along with the chemical reaction of metal precursors, it is very important to develop metal precursors that can show improved performance.

[0007] That is, the metal precursor must have sufficient vapor pressure so that it can be easily transported from a vessel containing the gaseous precursor to a reaction chamber, have long-term thermal stability during storage and transportation, and have thermal stability in the gaseous state to control impurities in the thin film formed. Furthermore, the metal precursor must exhibit excellent reactivity with the reactive gas to easily form a thin film on a substrate.

[0008] Meanwhile, molybdenum-containing thin films have low resistivity, high work function, and excellent thermal and chemical stability, and are used in a wide range of fields, such as solar cells, field emission displays, liquid displays, plasma display panels, organic light-emitting devices, and semiconductors. However, there remains a need for research into molybdenum precursors that can be easily applied to various deposition methods and exhibit improved performance.

[0076] FIG. 1 shows the TGA analysis results for Examples 1 to 3. In Example 1 (Compound 1), decomposition began at 190°C, and at 326°C, only 47% by weight of Example 1 (Compound 1) remained as residue, demonstrating that Example 1 (Compound 1) has excellent thermal stability.

[0077] Similarly, the decomposition of Example 2 (Compound 2) and Example 3 (Compound 3) began at 153°C and 180°C, respectively, and only 21 wt% of Example 2 (Compound 2) and 32 wt% of Example 3 (Compound 3) remained as residue at 317°C and 389°C, respectively, demonstrating the excellent thermal stability of Example 2 (Compound 2) and Example 3 (Compound 3).

[0078] FIG. 2 shows the results of vapor pressure analysis for Examples 1 to 3, and the vapor pressure graph shows that the molybdenum compounds of Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention have excellent vapor pressure.

[0079] The molybdenum compound of the present invention has a specific structure and specific functional groups, and therefore exhibits improved vapor pressure and thermal stability. When this compound is used to produce a molybdenum-containing thin film, the film has excellent uniformity and step coverage, and can exhibit improved electrical properties.

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above examples. From this description, those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may make various modifications and changes.

[0081] Therefore, the spirit of the present invention should not be limited to the above-described exemplary embodiments, and all modifications that are the same as or equivalent to the following claims are intended to be included within the scope and spirit of the present invention.
