Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a molybdenum compound, a method for producing the same, a method for producing a thin film containing the same, and a thin film containing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Various metalorganic precursors are used to form metal thin films. A variety of techniques are used for thin film deposition, including reactive sputtering, ion-assisted deposition, sol-gel deposition, metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), a type of chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and atomic layer deposition (ALD), also known as atomic layer epitaxy (ALE). Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) offer advantages such as good composition control, high film uniformity, and good doping control. They also provide excellent conformal deposition, enabling uniform step coverage even over highly nonplanar microelectronic device geometries.
[0003] Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a chemical process in which organometallic precursors are used to form thin films on a substrate. In a typical chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, precursors are reacted or decomposed on the surface of the substrate while passing over the substrate in a low-pressure or atmospheric-pressure chamber. Volatile by-products are removed by a gas stream.
[0004] Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a method that enables precise thickness control, uniform step coverage, and excellent conformal deposition. It is a method of sequentially growing films by reacting on the substrate surface. It is typically performed in four steps: pulse A, in which an organometallic first precursor forms a monolayer on the substrate; purge A, in which excess first precursor is removed; pulse B, in which a nonmetallic second precursor induces a reaction between the first precursor and the substrate; and purge B, in which unreacted material is removed. These four steps are repeated until a thin film of the desired thickness is obtained.
[0005] Thin films are used in a variety of important applications, such as semiconductor device fabrication and nanotechnology. Such applications include, for example, conductive films, high-refractive-index optical coatings, corrosion-resistant coatings, photocatalytic self-cleaning glass coatings, biocompatible coatings, gate dielectric insulating films in field-effect transistors (FETs), dielectric capacitor layers, capacitor electrodes, gate electrodes, adhesive diffusion barriers, and integrated circuits. Thin films are also used in microelectronic applications, such as high-k dielectric oxides for dynamic random access memory (DRAM) applications, infrared detectors, and ferroelectric perovskites used in non-volatile ferroelectric random access memories (NV-FeFAMs). The continued miniaturization of microelectronic components increases the need for the use of dielectric thin films.
[0006] Many current molybdenum precursors for use in CVD and ALD do not meet the performance requirements required to enable new processes for the fabrication of next-generation devices such as semiconductors. There is a need for the development of molybdenum precursors with improved thermal stability, higher volatility, increased vapor pressure, uniform deposition, and stable deposition rates.

[0088] Example 1: Preparation of ((CH)N(CHCp)MoH(CO) A reactor equipped with a reflux condenser was charged with 100 g (0.38 mol) of Mo(CO) and 300 mL of toluene and stirred. 128.7 g (1.0 mol) of 1,3,5-trimethylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazine (trimethyltriazacyclohexane, TMTACH) was slowly added to the reactor and stirred at 120°C for 10 hours or more. The reaction was continued until no further CO gas evolution was observed using an external oil bubbler. The temperature of the reactor was lowered to 100°C, and the mixture was filtered. The mixture was then washed three times with 50 mL of toluene and dried under vacuum to obtain 84 g of a yellow powder of (TMTACH)Mo(CO) (yield: 72%).
[0089] A reactor equipped with a reflux condenser was charged with 384 g (0.27 mol) of the (TMTACH)Mo(CO) obtained above and 200 mL of THF and stirred. 37 g (0.27 mol) of (2-dimethylaminoethyl)cyclopentadiene was slowly added to the reactor and stirred at 70 °C for at least 10 hours. After the yellow mixture had completely turned deep red, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted twice with 300 mL of hexane. The extracted deep red solution was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain a deep red liquid. The resulting product was distilled at 92 °C and 0.3 Torr to obtain approximately 40 g of ((CH3)2N(CH2)2Cp)MoH(CO)3 (yield: 45% from Mo(CO)6). 1 H NMR(400 MHz, C6D6) δ 4.8 - 4.95 (d, 4H), 2.0 - 2.2 (m, 4H), 2.0 (s, 6H), 1.6-1.8 (m, 1H)
[0090] Example 2: Preparation of ((CH3)O(CH2)2Cp)MoH(CO)3 A reactor equipped with a reflux condenser was charged with 100 g (0.32 mol) of the (TMTACH)Mo(CO)3 obtained above and 200 mL of THF and stirred. 40.17 g (0.32 mol) of (2-methoxyethyl)cyclopentadiene was slowly added to the reactor and stirred at 70°C for at least 10 hours. After the yellow mixture had completely turned deep red, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted twice with 300 mL of hexane. The extracted deep red solution was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain a deep red liquid. The resulting product was distilled at 85°C and 0.25 Torr to obtain approximately 45 g of ((CH3)O(CH2)2Cp)MoH(CO)3 (yield: 34.6% from Mo(CO)6). 1 H NMR(400 MHz, C6D6) δ 4.8 - 4.95 (d, 4H), 3.10 (m, 2H), 3.01 (s, 3H), 2.34 (m, 2H), 1.6-1.8 (m, 1H)
[0091] [Example 3] Production of a molybdenum-containing thin film Using the molybdenum compound according to Example 1, a molybdenum-containing thin film was manufactured by atomic layer deposition using hydrogen (H 2 ) as a reactive gas.
[0092] While a substrate having a silicon oxide film and a titanium nitride film formed thereon was maintained at 580° C., the molybdenum compound according to Example 1, filled in a stainless steel bubbler container at 100° C., was transferred for 1 second along with 50 sccm of nitrogen (N2) to adsorb onto the substrate. Then, a purge step was performed using 2000 sccm of nitrogen (N2) for 3 seconds to remove any unadsorbed molybdenum compound.
[0093] Next, 2000 sccm of hydrogen (H2) was supplied for 5 seconds to react with the adsorbed molybdenum compound, forming a molybdenum-containing thin film, followed by a 3-second purge step using 2000 sccm of nitrogen (N2) to remove reaction by-products and residual reaction gases.
[0094] The above process was counted as one cycle, and the molybdenum-containing thin film was formed by repeating 500 cycles.
[0095] The thickness of the formed molybdenum-containing thin film was measured using a scanning electron microscope, and the results are shown in Figure 1. The thickness of the molybdenum-containing thin film was 680 Å, and the deposition rate was confirmed to be 1.36 Å per period.
[0096] Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron analysis confirmed that the film contained approximately 72% molybdenum.
[0097] From this, the molybdenum compound according to one embodiment of the present invention has improved thermal stability, high volatility, and improved vapor pressure, and when used to produce a thin film, it exhibits a uniform and stable deposition rate, making it possible to produce a thin film with excellent deposition properties.
[0098] As described above, the present invention has been described using specific and limited examples and comparative examples. However, these are merely provided for a more general understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made based on these descriptions.
[0099] Therefore, the spirit of the present invention should not be limited to the above-described embodiments, and it can be said that not only the scope of the attached claims, but also anything equivalent to the scope of the claims or any equivalent modifications thereof, all fall within the scope of the spirit of the present invention.
