Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for selectively depositing a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition and a substrate on which the thin film is selectively formed. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for selectively depositing a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition, in which the surfaces of three or more substrates, i.e., a metal-containing substrate, a silicon dioxide (SiO2)-containing substrate, and a nitride-containing substrate, are passivated using an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor to form thin films having different thicknesses, and a substrate on which the thin film is selectively formed. [Background technology]

[0002] As the technology in the semiconductor industry advances, the size of semiconductor devices continues to shrink to meet the demands of the semiconductor market, currently requiring sizes of less than 10 nm.

[0003] Therefore, existing top-down semiconductor device manufacturing methods, which involve repetitive lithography and etching processes, have reached physical limits in manufacturing semiconductor devices at the 10nm level or below. For example, device performance and reliability are reduced due to inaccurate device patterning and misalignment of patterned features during device layering.

[0004] Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin film deposition technology that offers significant advantages over other thin film deposition methods in terms of uniformity, thickness control, and conformality.

[0005] The self-limiting surface characteristics of the atomic layer deposition process offer additional benefits in addition to thin film deposition and area selective deposition (ASD). Specifically, localized deposition can be achieved through area selective deposition by controlling the surface chemical reactivity in a vacuum environment using appropriate chemical treatments. This area selective deposition allows for upward transfer by applying an appropriate pattern to the original surface, eliminating the need for repetitive lithography and etching processes. It can also be used to create additional patterns within 3D patterns, which is not possible with existing technology. This also has the advantage of minimizing side effects that can occur in current complex processes, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0006] Area-selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) is one of the most reliable deposition methods among atomic layer deposition (ALD). Furthermore, using an inhibitor in AS-ALD is an effective method for surface functionalization. Inhibitors are selectively adsorbed onto the surface, causing passivation during ALD, thereby inducing selective area inactivation. Conventional inhibitors include SAMs (self-assembled monolayers), SMIs (small molecule inhibitors), and PISs (precursor inhibitors).

[0007] SAMs are self-assembling molecules that can be adsorbed with surface sensitivity and surface selectivity to inhibit growth. However, as the size of semiconductor devices continues to shrink, there are physical limitations to using SAMs with a certain size due to their low thermal stability.

[0008] SMIs are generally nanometer-sized molecules with characteristic chemisorption reaction regions and have similar adsorption selectivity to SAMs. This adsorption selectivity is determined by the inert ligand. Utilizing nanometer-sized SMIs in area selective deposition (ASD) can overcome the difficulties of high-volume manufacturing that SAMs face. Furthermore, SMIs do not require the adsorption process that SAMs must undergo in wet chemical processes. Consequently, SMIs are being proposed as a better inhibitor than SAMs, which have been widely used in the past. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] The present invention aims to provide a method for selectively depositing a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition (ALD), which uses an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor that has surface sensitivity and surface selectivity like a SAM and is adsorbed onto the surface of a substrate, thereby providing excellent vapor pressure, easy chamber transfer, and the ability to form a dense layer in a short time, as well as a substrate on which a thin film is selectively formed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0056] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can easily understand the present invention. The present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. The same reference numerals will be used throughout the specification to refer to the same or similar elements.

[0057] As used herein, the term "substantially free" is defined as less than 0.001 weight percent (wt%), including 0.000 weight percent (wt%). Also, the term "free" means 0.000 wt%. As used herein, the term "about" is intended to refer to ±5% of the defined number.

[0058] The method for selectively depositing a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition of the present invention includes first to third steps.

[0059] In the first step of the method for selectively depositing a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition of the present invention, a first substrate, a second substrate, and a third substrate are arranged in parallel to prepare an integrated substrate. The first substrate, the second substrate, and the third substrate may each be made of a different material. The first substrate may comprise a metal, preferably a metal selected from the group consisting of copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), ruthenium (Ru), molybdenum (Mo), and tungsten (W), and more preferably copper (Cu). The second substrate may comprise silicon dioxide (SiO2). The third substrate may comprise a nitride, preferably a nitride selected from the group consisting of titanium nitride, molybdenum nitride, tungsten nitride, and silicon nitride, and more preferably titanium nitride (TiN).

[0060] Next, in the second step of the method for selectively depositing a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition of the present invention, the substrate prepared in the first step can be exposed to an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor.

[0061] In this case, the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor may include a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula 1:

[0062] [ka]

[0063] In the above formula 1, R 1 and R 2 are each independently a C1 to C12 linear alkyl group, a C3 to C12 branched alkyl group, or a C6 to C12 aryl group, preferably a C1 to C12 linear alkyl group, and more preferably a C1 to C3 linear alkyl group.

[0064] The organic thiol low-molecular-weight inhibitor may have a weight-average molecular weight of about 300 or less, preferably about 30 to about 150, and more preferably about 60 to about 95.

[0065] Specifically, referring to FIG. 1, the second step of the method for selectively depositing a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition of the present invention may include steps 2-1 to 2-3.

[0066] First, in step 2-1 of the selective deposition method of a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition of the present invention, the substrate prepared in step 1 is dried, then placed in a chamber having an internal temperature of about 300°C to about 500°C, preferably about 350°C to about 450°C, and a vacuum base pressure, and maintained for about 1 minute to about 20 minutes, preferably about 5 minutes to about 15 minutes. If the internal temperature is less than about 300°C, there may be problems with adsorption of the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor, and if it exceeds about 500°C, there may be problems with desorption and decomposition of the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor.

[0067] Next, in step 2-2 of the selective deposition method of a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition of the present invention, the chamber is purged, and the internal temperature of the chamber is maintained at about 200°C to about 500°C, preferably about 350°C to about 450°C, and more preferably about 390°C to about 410°C. An organic thiol small molecule inhibitor is then introduced into the chamber, and the substrate is exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor for about 1 second to about 100 seconds, preferably about 30 seconds to about 90 seconds, and more preferably about 30 seconds to about 60 seconds. If the internal temperature of the chamber is less than about 200°C, inefficient adsorption of the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor may occur, while if it exceeds about 500°C, desorption and decomposition of the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor may occur.

[0068] Finally, in step 2-3 of the selective deposition method for a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition, the substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor in step 2-2 can be cooled to a temperature of about 15°C to about 35°C, preferably about 20°C to about 30°C.

[0069] Meanwhile, the surface of the first substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor in the second step of the selective deposition method of a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition of the present invention may have a water contact angle of about 90° to about 100°.

[0070] In addition, the surface of the second substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor in the second step of the selective deposition method for a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition of the present invention may have a water contact angle of about 70° to about 80°.

[0071] In addition, in step 2-2 of the selective deposition method of a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition of the present invention, the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor introduced into the chamber is thermally dissociated into an alkylsulfanyl and an alkyl, and the alkylsulfanyl is adsorbed on the surface of the first substrate, and the alkyl is adsorbed on the surface of the second substrate. Specifically, the alkylsulfanyl may be ethylsulfanyl, and the alkyl may be ethyl.

[0072] Finally, in the third step of the method for selectively depositing a thin film using area-selective atomic layer deposition of the present invention, area-selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) is used to form a thin film on the surface of the substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor in the second step.

If the temperature of the substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor is less than about 200°C, inefficient adsorption of the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor may occur, and if the temperature exceeds about 350°C, decomposition of the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor may occur.

[0136] Experimental Example 1: Water contact angle measurement

[0137] The water contact angles were measured for copper (Cu), silicon dioxide (SiO2), and titanium nitride (TiN) substrates exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitors in Preparation Examples 1 to 3, and the results are shown in Figure 3. Specifically, the left graph in Figure 3 shows the Mohr contact angle of the copper (Cu) substrate in Preparation Example 1 as a function of the exposure time to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor (DES Exposure Time). The middle graph in Figure 3 shows the Mohr contact angle of the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate in Preparation Example 2 as a function of the exposure time to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor (DES Exposure Time). The right graph in Figure 3 shows the Mohr contact angle of the titanium nitride (TiN) substrate in Preparation Example 3 as a function of the exposure time to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor (DES Exposure Time). The water contact angles were measured using a contact angle measuring instrument (SDL200TEZD, Femtobiomed) using deionized water as the measurement source and a droplet size of 2 μl.

[0138] As can be seen in the graph on the left side of Figure 3, the water contact angle of the copper (Cu) substrate surface gradually increased from 55°. Furthermore, with the chamber internal temperature maintained at 200°C, the copper (Cu) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor saturated at approximately 75° as the exposure time increased. Furthermore, with the chamber internal temperature maintained at 300°C, the copper (Cu) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor increased from 55° to approximately 68° after 15 seconds of exposure and saturated at approximately 80° after 60 seconds. Furthermore, with the chamber internal temperature maintained at 400°C, the copper (Cu) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor increased from 55° to approximately 95° after 15 seconds of exposure and saturated at approximately 98° after 30 seconds. From these results, it was confirmed that the gradual increase in the water contact angle of the copper (Cu) substrate at chamber internal temperatures of 200°C and 300°C is due to the limited adsorption of the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor at low temperatures.

[0139] As can be seen in the middle graph of Figure 3, the water contact angle of the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor with the chamber internal temperature maintained at 200°C increased from 44° to approximately 55° after 30 seconds of exposure and saturated at approximately 62° after 60 seconds. Furthermore, the water contact angle of the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor with the chamber internal temperature maintained at 300°C increased from 44° to approximately 65° after 30 seconds of exposure and saturated. Furthermore, the water contact angle of the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor with the chamber internal temperature maintained at 400°C increased from 44° to approximately 76° after 15 seconds of exposure and saturated at approximately 80° after 30 seconds.

[0140] As can be seen in the graph on the right side of Figure 3, the titanium nitride (TiN) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor while the internal chamber temperature was maintained at 300°C and 400°C did not show a significant increase in water contact angle even when the exposure time to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor was increased. This result confirmed that the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor did not change the surface properties of the titanium nitride (TiN) substrate.

[0141] Experimental example 2: XPS analysis

[0142] In Preparatory Examples 1 to 3, the temperature inside the chamber was maintained at 400°C, and the copper (Cu) substrate (30-second exposure), silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate (30-second exposure), and titanium nitride (TiN) substrate (30-second exposure) were exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis was performed on each of these substrates, and the results are shown in Figure 4. Specifically, the S-2p peak was examined to confirm the presence of organic thiol small molecule inhibitors on copper (Cu), silicon dioxide (SiO2), and titanium nitride (TiN) substrates. The left graph in Figure 4 shows the S-2p XPS spectrum of a copper (Cu) substrate exposed to an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor while the internal chamber temperature was maintained at 400°C in Preparation Example 1. The middle graph in Figure 4 shows the S-2p XPS spectrum of a silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate exposed to an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor while the internal chamber temperature was maintained at 400°C in Preparation Example 2. The right graph in Figure 4 shows the S-2p XPS spectrum of a titanium nitride (TiN) substrate exposed to an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor while the internal chamber temperature was maintained at 400°C in Preparation Example 3. XPS analysis was performed using an XPS system (PHI-5000 Versa Probe II, ULVAC, Physical Electronics) using monochromatic Al Kα radiation as a source.

[0143] As can be seen in the graph on the left side of Figure 4, the S-2p XPS spectrum of the copper (Cu) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor while maintaining the internal chamber temperature at 400°C in Preparation Example 1 clearly shows an S-2p peak. Specifically, a core electron peak was observed in the S-2p region. The S-2p peak was in the range of 159 to 164 eV. When the S-2p peak was deconvoluted, two chemical bonds of S-2p were confirmed, and here, an S2p peak at 161.0 eV was observed. 3 / 2 and S2p at 162.5 eV 1 / 2The S-2p peak indicates the adsorption of the thiol group of the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor onto the surface of the copper (Cu) substrate. At high temperatures, the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor undergoes thermal dissociation to form ethylsulfanyl. Due to the alkaline nature of the copper (Cu) substrate, only ethylsulfanyl, which has acidic properties, can be adsorbed onto the copper (Cu) substrate. Consequently, in Preparation Example 1, when the chamber internal temperature was maintained at 400°C, ethylsulfanyl was adsorbed and bonded to the copper (Cu) substrate surface exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor. Furthermore, the adsorbed ethylsulfanyl rendered the copper (Cu) substrate surface hydrophobic, thereby passivating the copper (Cu) substrate surface.

[0144] In addition, as can be seen in the left graph of Figure 4, the XPS spectrum of the copper (Cu) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor while maintaining the internal chamber temperature at 400°C in Preparation Example 1 confirmed the absence of oxidized sulfur such as sulfonate, which has a binding energy higher than 166 eV.

[0145] As can be seen in the middle graph of Figure 4, in Preparation Example 2, the S-2p characteristic peak was not observed in the S-2p XPS spectrum of the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor while the internal temperature of the chamber was maintained at 400°C, which indicates that no thiol groups were present on the surface of the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate.

[0146] Furthermore, as can be seen in the graph on the right side of Figure 4, no S-2p characteristic peak was observed in the S-2p XPS spectrum of the titanium nitride (TiN) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor while the internal temperature of the chamber was maintained at 400°C in Preparation Example 3, which also indicates that no thiol groups exist on the surface of the titanium nitride (TiN) substrate.

[0147] Additionally, Figure 5 shows the S-2p XPS spectra of copper (Cu) substrates exposed to an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor for 30 seconds while the internal chamber temperatures were maintained at 200°C and 300°C, respectively, in Preparation Example 1.

[0148] As can be seen in Figure 5, in Preparation Example 1, no S-2p peak was observed in the S-2p XPS spectrum of the copper (Cu) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor while the internal chamber temperature was maintained at 200°C and 300°C, respectively.

[0149] Experimental Example 3: FT-IR analysis

[0150] In Preparation Example 2, the temperature inside the chamber was maintained at 400°C, and a silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate exposed to an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor for 30 seconds (DES / SiO2) and a silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate not exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor (bare SiO2) were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and the results are shown in Figure 6.

[0151] FT-IR analysis was performed using a Bruker spectrometer (VERTEX 80V, HYPERION 2000) in ATR (attenuative total reflectance) mode at 8000–800 cm -1 The FT-IR absorption spectrum was measured and analyzed at wavenumber.

[0152] As can be seen in Figure 6, the spectrum of the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor while the internal chamber temperature was maintained at 400 °C in Preparation Example 2 shows a peak at 2975 cm2 indicating the presence of CH stretching. -1 A peak is seen at 945 cm, which represents the CH bending vibration. -1 It was confirmed that peaks were visible at . These two peaks were not observed on the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate that was not exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor, indicating the presence of alkyl groups on the surface of the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate that was exposed to the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor while the internal chamber temperature was maintained at 400°C in Preparation Example 2. These results confirmed that the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor was thermally dissociated at high temperatures to separate into ethyl groups, and that the separated ethyl groups were adsorbed and bonded to the surface of the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate.

[0153] Meanwhile, Figure 7 illustrates the adsorption mechanism of organic thiol small molecule inhibitors (DES) on the surface of a silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate. When an SiO2 substrate is exposed to an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor while the internal temperature of a high-temperature chamber is maintained at 400°C, the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor (DES) undergoes thermal dissociation and dissociates into ethylsulfanyl (EtS) and ethyl (Et), and the dissociated ethyl (Et) is adsorbed to -OH present on the surface of the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate.

[0154] Example 1: Hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film formation on copper (Cu) substrate exposed to an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor

[0155] Area selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) was used to form a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film on a copper (Cu) substrate that had been exposed to an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor for 30 seconds while maintaining the chamber internal temperature at 400°C in Preparation Example 1. The area selective atomic layer deposition used the compound represented by Formula 2-1 below as the thin film deposition precursor and deionized water as the counter reactant.

[0156] [ka]

[0157] In the above chemical formula 2-1, R 3 and R 4 is a methyl group.

[0158] Specifically, a stainless-steel canister storing the precursor for thin film deposition, with an internal temperature maintained at 50°C, and a glass canister storing the reactant, with an internal temperature maintained at 22°C, were connected to a chamber containing a copper (Cu) substrate, and area-selective atomic layer deposition was performed with the copper (Cu) substrate heated to 275°C. Nitrogen gas (N2 gas) was used at a flow rate of 10 sccm for purging during area-selective atomic layer deposition, and this was controlled by a mass flow controller (MFC).

[0159] Meanwhile, the area-selective atomic layer deposition method was performed in a cycle in which the precursor for thin film deposition was introduced into a chamber containing a copper (Cu) substrate, exposed for 4 seconds, and then purged for 60 seconds, and the reactant was introduced into a chamber containing a copper (Cu) substrate, exposed for 2 seconds, and then purged for 60 seconds.

[0160] The area-selective atomic layer deposition was performed 2 times, 10 times, 25 times, 50 times, and 100 times, respectively.

[0161] Example 2: Hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film formation on silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrates exposed to an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor

[0162] Area-selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) was used to form a hafnium oxide (HfO) thin film on a silicon dioxide (SiO) substrate that had been exposed to an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor for 30 seconds while maintaining the chamber internal temperature at 400°C in Preparation Example 2. The area-selective atomic layer deposition used the compound represented by Formula 2-1 below as the precursor for thin film deposition, and deionized water as the counter reactant.

[0163] [ka]

[0164] In the above chemical formula 2-1, R 3 and R 4 is a methyl group.

[0165] Specifically, a stainless-steel canister containing the precursor for thin film deposition, with an internal temperature maintained at 50°C, and a glass canister containing the reactant, with an internal temperature maintained at 22°C, were connected to a chamber containing a silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate, and area-selective atomic layer deposition was performed with the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate heated to 275°C.

[0196] Experimental Example 4: Selectivity measurement by number of cycles in area-selective atomic layer deposition

[0197] The selectivity was calculated based on the difference in atomic concentration between the growth area (GS) and the non-growth area (NGS) using the following equation 1:

[0200] The homogeneous selectivity as a function of the number of region-selective atomic layer deposition cycles between a copper (Cu) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film was formed in Comparative Example 1 and a copper (Cu) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film was formed in Example 1 was measured and is shown in Figure 8 (shown as Cu w / & w / o DES).

[0201] As can be seen in Figure 8, the homogeneity selectivity of the surface of the copper (Cu) substrate for forming a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film on the substrate was measured as 100% after 2 cycles, 99.8% after 10 cycles, 98% after 25 cycles, 55% after 50 cycles, and 24.8% after 100 cycles.

[0202] In addition, the uniformity selectivity as a function of the number of cycles of the area-selective atomic layer deposition method between a silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film is formed in Comparative Example 2 and a silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film is formed in Example 2 was measured and is shown in Figure 8 (=SiO2 w / & w / o DES).

[0204] As can be seen in Figure 8, the homogeneity selectivity of the surface of a silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate for forming a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film on the substrate was measured to be 61% after 2 cycles, 27% after 10 cycles, 19% after 25 cycles, 9% after 50 cycles, and 6% after 100 cycles.

[0205] In addition, it was confirmed that there was no uniform selectivity between the titanium nitride (TiN) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film was formed in Comparative Example 3 and the titanium nitride (TiN) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film was formed in Example 3.

[0206] From these results, it was confirmed that the surface of a copper (Cu) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film is formed and the surface of a silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film is formed both show a decrease in uniformity selectivity as the number of area-selective atomic layer deposition cycles increases, and that the surface of a copper (Cu) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film is formed has better uniformity selectivity.

[0207] Meanwhile, the heterogeneous selectivity as a function of the number of cycles of area-selective atomic layer deposition between a copper (Cu) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film is formed in Example 1 and a silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film is formed in Example 2 was measured and shown in Figure 9 (=shown as b / w DES on Cu & SiO2).

[0208] In addition, the heterogeneous selectivity as a function of the number of region-selective atomic layer deposition cycles between a silicon dioxide (SiO) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO) thin film was formed in Example 2 and a titanium nitride (TiN) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO) thin film was formed in Example 3 was measured and shown in Figure 9 (=b / w DES on Cu & TiN).

[0212] In addition, the heterogeneity selectivity depending on the number of cycles of the area-selective atomic layer deposition method between a titanium nitride (TiN) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film is formed in Example 3 and a copper (Cu) substrate on which a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film is formed in Example 1 was measured to be 68.5% for 2 cycles, 42.1% for 10 cycles, 35.9% for 25 cycles, 25.8% for 50 cycles, and 21.2% for 100 cycles.

[0213] Experimental Example 5: Thickness measurement of hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film by area-selective atomic layer deposition cycle number

[0214] The thickness of the hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film formed on a copper (Cu) substrate in Example 1 (expressed as HfO2 / DES / CuO), the thickness of the hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film formed on a silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate in Example 2 (expressed as HfO2 / DES / SiO2), and the thickness of the hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film formed on a titanium nitride (TiN) substrate in Example 3 (expressed as HfO2 / DES / TiN) were measured depending on the number of cycles of the area-selective atomic layer deposition method, and the results are shown in Figure 10.

[0215] As can be seen in Figure 10, it was observed that the formation of a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film on a copper (Cu) substrate was delayed up to 25 cycles, and that the formation of a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film began after 25 cycles. From these results, it was confirmed that the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor adsorbed on the surface of the copper (Cu) substrate delayed the formation of a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film up to 25 cycles, and that this delay effect was lost after 25 cycles.

[0216] On the other hand, silicon dioxide (SiO2) and titanium nitride (TiN) substrates did not exhibit the delayed formation of hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin films that occurs on copper (Cu) substrates, and this delayed formation effect of hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin films was observed most effectively on copper (Cu) substrates, followed by silicon dioxide (SiO2) and titanium nitride (TiN) substrates. In particular, no delayed formation effect of hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin films was observed on titanium nitride (TiN) substrates.

[0217] Specifically, in Example 1, the thickness of the hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film formed on the copper (Cu) substrate was measured to be 0 nm at 2 cycles, 0 nm at 10 cycles, 0 nm at 25 cycles, 2.95 nm at 50 cycles, and 5.91 nm at 100 cycles.

[0218] Furthermore, in Example 2, the thickness of the hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film formed on the silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate was measured to be 0.35 nm for 2 cycles, 1.37 nm for 10 cycles, 2.43 nm for 25 cycles, 5.56 nm for 50 cycles, and 9.90 nm for 100 cycles.

[0219] Furthermore, in Example 3, the thickness of the hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film formed on the titanium nitride (TiN) substrate was measured to be 2.43 nm for 2 cycles, 4.25 nm for 10 cycles, 5.16 nm for 25 cycles, 9.43 nm for 50 cycles, and 16.66 nm for 100 cycles.

[0273] (1) Silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) patterns were formed on titanium nitride (TiN) substrates using the drop casting method. The silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) patterns were formed using a 0.1M solution of silicon dioxide (SiO2) powder and copper (Cu) powder dispersed in 50 ml of ethanol, and the remaining solution after the formation of the silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) patterns was evaporated at 22°C.

[0274] (2) A titanium nitride (TiN) substrate with a silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) pattern formed thereon was ultrasonically cleaned in acetone, isopropyl alcohol, and deionized water, in that order, for 10 minutes.

[0275] (3) The cleaned titanium nitride (TiN) substrate with the silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) pattern formed thereon was dried with nitrogen gas (N2 gas), and then placed in a chamber with an internal temperature of 400°C and a vacuum base pressure, and maintained for 10 minutes.

[0276] (4) A stainless steel canister was prepared, maintaining an internal temperature of 25° C. and storing an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor. The organic thiol small molecule inhibitor used was a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula 1:

[0277] [ka]

[0278] In the above formula 1, R 1 and R 2 is an ethyl group.

[0279] (5) The titanium nitride (TiN) substrate on which the silicon dioxide (SiO)-copper (Cu) pattern was formed was connected to the stainless steel canister so that the substrate could be exposed to the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1.

[0280] (6) The chamber was purged with nitrogen gas (N2 gas), and the temperature inside the chamber was maintained at 400°C. The titanium nitride (TiN) substrate on which the silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) pattern was formed was exposed to the compound represented by Formula 1 for 30 seconds.

[0281] (7) The titanium nitride (TiN) substrate on which the silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) pattern was formed and exposed to the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 was cooled at a temperature of 25°C.

[0282] (8) Using area-selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD), a hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin film was formed on a titanium nitride (TiN) substrate with a silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) pattern exposed to an organic thiol small molecule inhibitor. The compound represented by the following formula 2-1 was used as the thin film deposition precursor, and deionized water was used as the counter reactant.

[0283] [ka]

[0284] In the above chemical formula 2-1, R 3 and R 4 is a methyl group.

[0285] Specifically, a stainless-steel canister containing the precursor for thin film deposition, maintained at an internal temperature of 50°C, and a glass canister containing the reactant, maintained at an internal temperature of 22°C, were connected to a chamber containing a titanium nitride (TiN) substrate with a silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) pattern. Area-selective atomic layer deposition was performed with the titanium nitride (TiN) substrate with a silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) pattern heated to 275°C. Nitrogen gas (N2 gas) was used for purging at a flow rate of 10 sccm, and the flow rate was controlled by a mass flow controller (MFC).

[0286] Meanwhile, the area-selective atomic layer deposition method was performed in a cycle in which the precursor for thin film deposition was introduced into a chamber containing a titanium nitride (TiN) substrate with a silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) pattern formed thereon, exposed for 4 seconds, and then purged for 60 seconds, and the reactant was introduced into a chamber containing a titanium nitride (TiN) substrate with a silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) pattern formed thereon, exposed for 2 seconds, and then purged for 60 seconds.

[0287] The area-selective atomic layer deposition was performed 10 times and 25 times, respectively.

[0288] Experimental Example 7: AES analysis

[0289] The titanium nitride (TiN) substrate on which the silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) pattern of Preparation Example 3 was subjected to Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) analysis, and the results are shown in Figure 12. The analysis equipment used was a PHI 700™ Scanning Auger Nanoprobe, and the line scan and mapping methods used a beam size of 20 nm and an analysis area of ​​20 × 20 μm. 2 It is based on a two-point scan.

[0290] Figures 12(a) and 12(d) are AES images of a silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) pattern for a mapping profile and a line scan. Figure 12(b) is a mapping profile after 10 cycles of area-selective atomic layer deposition, and Figure 12(e) is a mapping profile after 25 cycles of area-selective atomic layer deposition. Figure 12(c) is a line scan after 10 cycles of area-selective atomic layer deposition, and Figure 12(f) is a line scan after 25 cycles of area-selective atomic layer deposition.

[0291] Figure 12(b) shows a mapping profile with an RGB overlay of red oxygen (O), green copper (Cu), and blue hafnium (Hf), revealing copper (Cu) patches among the purple patches. The purple patches indicate that oxygen (O) emitted from silicon dioxide (SiO2) and hafnium oxide (HfO2) overlaps with the blue hafnium (Hf). This indicates that no hafnium oxide (HfO2) is present in the copper (Cu) lines of the pattern. These results confirm that complete blocking selectivity of copper (Cu) over silicon dioxide (SiO2) is achieved after 10 cycles of area-selective atomic layer deposition.

[0292] Figure 12(c) shows a line scan of the same pattern, but no hafnium (Hf) concentration was observed in the copper profile (Cu profile), only the oxide profile. The SiO2 line contains oxides contained in SiO2 and hafnium oxide (HfO2), so a larger oxygen (O) intensity was observed in the SiO2 line.

[0293] Meanwhile, hafnium (Hf) was observed in the copper (Cu) lines in Figures 12(e) and (f). These results confirmed that the copper (Cu) lines have hafnium (Hf) blocking properties, interfering with atomic layer deposition. Small green patches can still be observed in Figure 12(e), indicating that the small copper (Cu) patches have not yet covered the hafnium oxide (HfO2). While hafnium (Hf) is present throughout the scanned area in Figure 12(f), even higher hafnium (Hf) concentrations were still observed in the silicon dioxide (SiO2) lines.

[0294] In conclusion, AES analysis confirmed that the organic thiol small molecule inhibitor effectively blocked copper (Cu) up to 10 cycles of area-selective atomic layer deposition on a silicon dioxide (SiO2)-copper (Cu) pattern.
