Description

    CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/911,970 filed 16 Apr. 2007.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The semiconductor fabrication industry continues to use metal source containing precursors for chemical vapor deposition processes including atomic layer deposition for fabricating conformal metal-containing films on substrates such as silicon, silicon oxide, metal nitride, metal oxide and other metal-containing layers using these metal source containing precursors. In the fabrication process, a particularly advantageous way of delivering multiple source containing precursors is to employ neat liquid source containing liquid metal precursors or solutions of metal source precursors dissolved in a solvent, flash to vaporize the mixture, and then deliver the resulting vapors to the reactor. If in the fabrication process the reactions convert the metal source containing precursor to an insoluble or non-volatile product, or to a material of different chemical or physical properties, the elements contained in that product may not reach the substrate and the stoichiometry of the deposited film may not be correct.
  • In certain instances, such problems can be avoided sometimes by using identical ligands coordinated to the metals to make ligand exchange a degenerate reaction (i.e., where the exchanging ligand is identical to the original ligand). The foregoing problems also may be encountered where the precursor is provided in a liquid solution and the solvent contains moieties which react with the metal or ligands of the precursor to produce undesirable reaction by-products.
  • The following references are illustrative of metal source containing precursor solutions for use in preparing conformal metal-containing films: U.S. Pat. No. 5,820,664; U.S. Pat.

  • Summarizing, the ligand groups of the metal source containing precursor complexes in the broad practice of the present invention may be variously substituted to produce a wide variety of materials to optimize volatility, stability and film purity. Preferably, when the metal source precursor comprises two or more metal source containing precursor complexes, the ligands of the various metal source containing precursor complexes should be either: (a) identical, to result in degenerative ligand exchange (wherein any ligand exchange involves replacement of the ligand group by the same type ligand from another constituent of the multicomponent solution); or, (b) resistant to any detrimental non-degenerative ligand exchange in relation to one another, which would substantially impair or preclude the efficacy of the metal source complex for its intended purpose.
  • The metal source containing precursors generally are selected for solution applications on the basis of the following criteria: (i) the metal centers in the coordinated complexes should be as coordinatively saturated as possible, and in such respect multidentate ligands are preferred which occupy multiple coordination sites in the source precursor complex; (ii) the ligands preferably comprise sterically bulky groups such as isopropyl, t-butyl, and neopentyl, which prevent intermolecular interaction of the metal centers and thus hinder ligand exchange reaction and (iii) each of the individual metal source precursors in the solution should have a suitable vapor pressure characteristic, e.g., a vapor pressure of at least 0.001 Torr at the temperature and pressure conditions involved in their volatilization.
  • The solvent medium employed in formulating the metal source precursor solutions in accordance with the present invention is the organic amide class of the form, RCONR′R″, wherein R and R′ are linear or branched alkyl having from 1-10 carbon atoms or R and R′ can be connected to form a cyclic group (CH2)n, wherein n is from 4-6, preferably 5, and R″ is alkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and cycloalkyl. N-methyl, N-ethyl and N-cyclohexyl 2-pyrrolidinones are examples of the preferred solvents of the organic amide class.
  • The metal source precursor solutions of the present invention may be readily employed in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) applications including atomic layer deposition (ALD) for forming a metal-containing film on a substrate by the steps of volatilizing the metal source precursor liquid solution to yield a metal source vapor, and contacting the metal source vapor with the substrate, to deposit the metal-containing film thereon.
  • The following examples illustrate the preparation of the metal-containing complexes as precursor solutions in metal-containing film deposition processes and their use in a chemical vapor deposition process.

This vaporization behavior suggests the solution can be only employed via direct liquid injection for chemical vapor deposition or atomic vapor deposition.

  • Table 2 below shows the weights of the copper metal complex Cu-KI3 (i.e., (CF3C(O)CHC(NCH2CH2OSiMe2C2H3)CF3)Cu) mixed with dry deoxygenated NMP solvent under nitrogen. After thoroughly mixing, three solutions 1, 2 and 3 were individually tested in a TGA/DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) apparatus.
  • In this system, a small sample of 1, 2 or 3 was placed in a microbalance and a steady flow of nitrogen passed over the sample as it was steadily heated. Evaporation is registered as weight loss, manifest as a smooth curve down to almost complete evaporation. Since all three samples do not show two stages of evaporation per sample, i.e., the solvent evaporates first and then the copper complex evaporates, it is evident that these mixtures represent excellent blends for Direct Liquid Injection (DLI) type delivery for a CVD or ALD process. The TGA graphs are shown in FIG. 5.

The copper precursor was utilized as a 3:1 by weight ratio of KI3 dissolved in dry N-methylpyrolidone (NMP) and injected into the vaporizer at a rate of 41 mg/min using an evaporation temperature of 100° C. with an argon carrier gas flow of 250 sccm. Formic acid vapor was delivered by the DLI of 82 mg of liquid formic acid/min using an evaporation temperature of 65° C. with an argon carrier gas flow rate of 100 sccm. Run time was 30 minutes.
  • Results: Ruthenium: 427.5 nm of copper (as confirmed by EDX (energy dispersive x-ray) analysis) were deposited to give, after correcting for the ruthenium underlayer conductivity, a resistivity of 2.6 μΩcm.
  • Results: Titanium nitride: 386.7 nm of copper (as confirmed by EDX analysis) were deposited to give, after correcting for the titanium nitride underlayer, a resistivity of 2.3 μΩcm.
