Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a ruthenium precursor compound for film formation having high thermal stability, a precursor composition for film formation containing the ruthenium precursor compound, and a method for forming a ruthenium-containing film using the precursor for film formation.

Background Art

[0002] Ruthenium (Ru) metal can be used as a wiring material for semiconductor devices because it conducts electricity well like copper (Cu), tungsten (W), and cobalt (Co). As the integration of semiconductor devices progresses and the width of the metal wiring becomes narrower, the resistance of the metal wiring increases. When ruthenium metal is used for the wiring of semiconductor devices, when the width of the metal wiring is very narrow, such as 40 nm or less, the resistance increases slightly more than that of copper or cobalt. Therefore, the ruthenium (Ru) metal is being studied as a next-generation wiring material. In order to fill the narrow grooves required for the wiring of next-generation semiconductor devices with ruthenium metal, it is advantageous to supply a gaseous ruthenium compound to the substrate surface by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD) to form a ruthenium metal film.

[0003] For the above purpose, several ruthenium precursor compositions that can be used in CVD or ALD are known. However, in order to use the ruthenium (Ru) metal in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, a thermally stable ruthenium precursor composition whose composition does not change at the temperature at which the precursor composition is vaporized is required.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present application, the ruthenium precursor compound of the present invention contained in the film-forming precursor composition has low density and high thermal stability, allowing it to be used as a precursor for atomic layer deposition or chemical vapor deposition to form a ruthenium-containing film. In particular, it can uniformly form a ruthenium-containing film with a thickness of several nanometers to several micrometers on substrates with surface patterns (grooves), porous substrates, or plastic substrates in temperature ranges of room temperature to about 400°C, about 200°C to about 400°C, or about 300°C to about 400°C.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ruthenium-containing film formation method preferably involves placing a substrate in a reaction chamber, then using a transport gas or diluent gas to transfer the ruthenium precursor compound onto the substrate, and depositing a ruthenium-containing oxide thin film or nitride thin film at a wide deposition temperature range of room temperature to about 400°C, or about 200°C to about 400°C, but is not limited thereto.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present application, the transport gas or diluent gas is preferably a mixture of one or more gases selected from argon (Ar), nitrogen (N2), helium (He), or hydrogen (H2), but is not limited thereto.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, various supply methods may be applied to transfer the ruthenium precursor compound onto the substrate, including a bubbling method in which the precursor is forcibly vaporized using a transport gas, a liquid delivery system (LDS) in which the precursor is supplied in liquid form at room temperature and vaporized via a vaporizer, and a vapor flow controller (VFC) method in which the precursor is supplied directly using its vapor pressure. When the vapor pressure is high, the VFC method can be used, and when the vapor pressure is low, a bypass method in which the container is heated to vaporize the precursor can be used. The ruthenium precursor compound can be placed in a bubbler container or a VFC container and supplied to a chamber using bubbling with a transport gas at a temperature range of about 0.1 torr to about 10 torr and room temperature to about 100°C, or by transporting it using a high vapor pressure. Most preferably, the LDS method in which the ruthenium precursor compound is supplied in liquid form at room temperature and vaporized via a vaporizer can be used, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present invention, it is more preferable, but not limited to, transporting the ruthenium precursor compound with argon (Ar) or nitrogen (N2) gas, utilizing thermal energy or plasma, or applying a bias to the substrate in order to vaporize it.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, the fact that the deposition temperature is room temperature to about 400°C, or about 200°C to about 400°C, allows for a wide range of process temperatures applicable to memory elements, logic elements, and display elements, thus offering high applicability to various fields. Furthermore, because the film properties of the ruthenium-containing oxide thin film or nitride thin film differ, and a ruthenium precursor compound usable over a wide temperature range is required, deposition is preferably carried out in a deposition temperature range of room temperature to about 400°C, or about 200°C to about 400°C, but is not limited thereto.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, when a ruthenium-containing oxide film is formed during the deposition of the ruthenium-containing film, it is preferable to use one or more mixtures selected from water vapor (H2O), oxygen (O2), oxygen plasma (O2Plasma), nitrogen oxide (NO, N2O), nitrogen oxide plasma (N2O Plasma), oxygen nitride (N2O2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and ozone (O3) as the reaction gas. However, the present application is not limited thereto.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to use ammonia (NH3), ammonia plasma (HN3Plasma), hydrazine (N2H4), or nitrogen plasma (N2Plasma) as reaction gases for depositing the ruthenium-containing nitride film during the deposition of the ruthenium-containing film. However, the invention is not limited thereto.

[0063] The present invention will be described in more detail below through embodiments of this application, but the embodiments described below are for illustrative purposes only to aid in understanding this application, and the content of this application is not limited to the embodiments described below.

[0064] <Example 1> Preparation of (p-Cymene)(2,4-Dimethyl-1,3-pentadiene)Ru: [CH3C6H4CH(CH3)2][CH2=C(CH3)CH=C(CH3)2]Ru [ka] In a flame-dried 1000 ml L Schlenk flask, 288.5 g (0.144 mol) of [RuCl2(p-cymene)] and 91.8 g (0.867 mol) of Na2CO3 were mixed with 400 mL of 2-propanol to prepare a suspension. 25 g (0.260 mol) of 2,4-dimethyl-1,3-pentadiene was slowly added to the suspension, and the mixture was refluxed for 12 hours to complete the reaction. After the reaction was complete, the solvent and volatile by-reactants were removed under reduced pressure, and the mixture was extracted using 500 mL of n-hexane. The n-hexane extract was filtered through a Celite pad and glass frit. The obtained filtrate was then desoldered under reduced pressure and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 52.2 g (50.1% yield) of the orange liquid compound [(p-cymene)(2,4-dimethyl-1,3-pentadiene)Ru] represented by the formula 2.

[0066] <Example 2> Preparation of a mixed composition of (p-cymene)(2,4-hexadiene)Ru and (p-cymene)(1,3-hexadiene)Ru: [CH3C6H4CH(CH3)2](CH3CH=CH-CH=CHCH3)Ru + [CH3C6H4CH(CH3)2](CH2=CHCH=CHCH2CH3)Ru [ka] In a flame-dried 1000 mL Schlenk flask, 230 g (0.048 mol) of [RuCl2(p-cymene)] and 30.5 g (0.288 mol) of Na2CO3 were mixed with 400 mL of 2-propanol to prepare a suspension. 16.6 g (0.192 mol) of 2,4-hexadiene was slowly added to the suspension, and the mixture was refluxed for 40 hours to complete the reaction. After the reaction was complete, the solvent and volatile by-reactants were removed under reduced pressure, and the mixture was extracted using 500 mL of n-hexane. The n-hexane extract was filtered through a Celite pad and glass frit. The resulting filtrate was then desoldered under reduced pressure, and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 22 g (62.8% yield) of the orange liquid mixture represented by formula 3 [(p-cymene)(2,4-hexadiene)Ru and (p-cymene)(1,3-hexadiene)Ru].

[0067] From the NMR spectrum of the aforementioned liquid, it was determined that it was a mixture of (p-cymene)(2,4-hexadiene)Ru and (p-cymene)(1,3-hexadiene)Ru in a ratio of 6:4.

[0068] An isomerization reaction is known in which a hydrogen atom bonded to a double-bonded carbon coordinated to the Ru central metal moves to another carbon [YMWuu et al, Inorganic Chemistry 1988, 27(17), 3039~3044, doi:10.1021 / ic00290a028]. It is presumed that some of the 2,4-hexadiene used as a starting material was converted to 1,3-hexadine through such an isomerization reaction. The two isomers had nearly identical boiling points, and the 6:4 ratio was maintained even after vacuum distillation.

[0071] <Experimental Example 1> Evaluation of the thermal stability of the Ru precursor composition according to Example 1 Four sealed stainless steel containers were each filled with 2 g of the composition containing the Ru precursor compound (Chemical Formula 1) synthesized in Example 1, and heated at 110°C and 120°C for 7, 14, and 28 days, respectively.

[0072] The NMR spectra before and after heating were measured, and their respective purities are shown in Table 1 below. The purity remained almost unchanged even after 28 days of heating, and no new NMR peaks appeared. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the Ru precursor composition [(p-cymene)(2,4-dimethyl-1,3-pentadiene)Ru] of Example 1 maintains a constant proportion without decomposition during vaporization by heating at 110°C and 120°C.

[0073] [Table 1]

[0074] <Experimental Example 2> Evaluation of the thermal stability of the Ru precursor composition according to Example 2 Two g each of the Ru precursor composition [(p-cymene)(2,4-hexadiene)Ru(Chemical Formula 2) and (p-cymene)(1,3-hexadiene)Ru(Chemical Formula 3)] synthesized in Example 2 was placed in four sealed stainless steel containers and heated at 110°C and 120°C for 7 and 14 days, respectively.

[0075] The proportions of isomers measured by NMR before and after heating are shown in Table 2 below. The proportions of isomers remained almost unchanged even after 14 days of heating, and no new NMR peaks appeared. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the proportions of isomers remained constant while the Ru precursor composition of Example 2 was heated to 110°C and 120°C, respectively, and vaporized.

[0076] [Table 2]

[0077] In the case of Ru precursor compositions with low thermal stability, the proportion of the composition of dissimilar substances changes during vaporization, whereas in the Ru precursor composition of the present invention, the proportion of the composition is maintained constant during heating and vaporization.

[0078] <Experimental Example 3> Deposition of ruthenium film using (p-cymene)(2,4-dimethyl-1,3-pentadiene)Ru A Ru metal film was formed using a precursor composition consisting of a (p-cymene)(2,4-dimethyl-1,3-pentadiene)Ru compound, manufactured by the method of Example 1, via a plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) process. The Ru precursor composition was placed in a stainless steel container, heated to 100°C, and vaporized by flowing argon carrier gas at a flow rate of 200 sccm. The vaporized Ru precursor composition was then supplied to the PEALD reactor. The process pressure of the PEALD reactor was maintained at 1 torr to 1.2 torr. A silicon wafer piece heated to 300°C was used as the substrate for the PEALD process. The (O2+N2) plasma generated by applying a pulse of 200W of RF power each time a mixed gas of oxygen and nitrogen was supplied was used as the reaction gas. The ALD supply cycle, consisting of a 10-second supply of Ru precursor composition, a 10-second purge of Ar gas, a 10-second supply of (O2+N2) plasma reaction gas, and a 10-second purge of Ar gas, was repeated 200 times.

[0079] The mixing ratio of oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) gases used as reaction gases was adjusted to 70 sccm:140 sccm, 100 sccm:100 sccm, and 200 sccm:0 sccm. The surface resistance of the Ru film formed in each case was measured, and the resistivity calculated by measuring the film thickness with a transmission electron microscope (TEM) is shown in Table 3 below. Furthermore, the film composition at different thicknesses, as measured by Auger electron spectroscopy, is shown in Figure 2.

[0080] [Table 3]

[0081] The experimental results above show that a Ru metal film with good electrical conductivity was formed, with a film thickness of approximately 150 Å to 400 Å and a resistivity of approximately 20 μΩ·cm to 30 μΩ·cm.
