Baum et al., which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/823,196 filed on Mar. 30, 2001 in the name of Thomas H. Baum et al. This is also a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/823,196 filed Mar. 30, 2001 in the names of Thomas H. Baum, Chongying Xu, Bryan C. Hendrix and Jeffrey F. Roeder. The disclosures of all of the foregoing applications are hereby incorporated herein in their respective entireties, for all purposes, and the priority of all such applications is hereby claimed under the provisions of 35 USC 120.
- The present invention relates to silicon precursor compositions and their synthesis, and to the use of such silicon precursor compositions for the fabrication of microelectronic device structures, e.g., in the formation of gate dielectrics and silicon nitride barrier layers, in the manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuits, or in otherwise forming silicon-containing films on a substrate by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) utilizing such precursor compositions.
- The process of fabricating semiconductor integrated circuits generally includes the formation of such components as, gate oxides, high k dielectrics, low k dielectrics, barrier layers, etch stop layers and gate spacers. Such components often include silicon or silicon oxide in their compositions. For example, conventional gate dielectric materials may be formed from silicon dioxide, silicon oxy-nitride, silicon nitride or metal silicates.
- Semiconductor devices such as field effect transistors (FET) and metal oxide semiconductor capacitors (MOS-caps), which are common in the electronics industry, include many of the components identified above. Such devices may be formed with dimensions that enable thousands or even millions of devices to be formed on a single-crystal substrate and interconnected to perform useful functions in an integrated circuit such as a microprocessor.
- The general structure and operation of a field effect transistor is as follows. With reference to
FIG. 1 , a simplified field effect transistor is shown in cross-section. In a field effect transistor a portion of the substrate (or epi-layer) 100 near the surface is designated as thechannel 120 during processing.Channel 120 is electrically connected tosource 140 and drain 160, such that when a voltage difference exists betweensource 140 anddrain 160, current will tend to flow throughchannel 120. The semiconducting characteristics ofchannel 120 are altered such that its resistivity may be controlled by the voltage applied togate 200, a conductivelayer overlying channel 120. Thus by changing the voltage ongate 200, more or less current can be made to flow throughchannel 120.Gate 200 andchannel 120 are separated by gate dielectric 180; the gate dielectric is insulating, such that betweengate 200 andchannel 120 the current flow during operation is small compared to the source to drain current (although “tunneling” current is observed with thin dielectrics.) However, the gate dielectric allows the gate voltage to induce an electric field inchannel 120, giving rise to the name “field effect transistor.” The general structure of a MOS-cap can be visualized aslayers FIG. 1 without the source and drain. The MOS-cap functions as a capacitor. - SiO2 represents the highest quality gate
dielectric material 180 so far developed in silicon technology with low defects and low surface state density. One important advantage of SiO2 is that it may be grown from the silicon substrate at elevated temperatures in an oxidizing environment. It is well known in the art, that thermally grown oxides tend to have fewer defects, (i.e. pinholes), than deposited materials. Thus, SiO2 has persisted as the dielectric material in most silicon device structures. - Generally, integrated circuit performance and density may be enhanced by decreasing the size of the individual semiconductor devices on a chip. Unfortunately, field effect semiconductor devices produce an output signal that is proportional to the length of the channel, such that scaling reduces their output. This effect has generally been compensated for by decreasing the thickness of gate dielectric 180, thus bringing the gate in closer proximity to the channel and enhancing the field effect.
- As devices have scaled to smaller and smaller dimensions, the gate dielectric thickness has continued to shrink. Although further scaling of devices is still possible, scaling of the gate dielectric thickness has almost reached its practical limit with the conventional gate dielectric materials: silicon dioxide, silicon oxy-nitride and silicon nitride. Further scaling of silicon dioxide gate dielectric thickness will involve problems such as: extremely thin layers allowing for large leakage currents due to direct tunneling through the oxide. Because such layers are formed literally from a few atomic layers, exact process control is required to repeatably produce such layers. Uniformity of coverage is also critical because device parameters may change dramatically based on the presence or absence of even a single monolayer of dielectric material. Finally, such thin layers form poor diffusion barriers to impurities and dopants.
- Consequently, there is a need in the art for alternative dielectric materials, which can be formed in a thicker layer than silicon dioxide and yet still produce the same field effect performance. This performance is often expressed as “equivalent oxide thickness” (EOT). Although the alternative material layer may be thick, it has the equivalent effect of a much thinner layer of silicon dioxide (commonly called simply “oxide”). In order to have a physically thick layer with a low EOT, the dielectric constant of the insulating material must be increased. Many, if not most, of the attractive alternatives for achieving low equivalent oxide thicknesses are metal oxides, such as tantalum pentoxide, titanium dioxide, barium strontium titanate and other suitable thin films.
- However, the formation of such metal oxides as gate dielectrics has been found to be problematic. At typical metal oxide deposition temperatures, the oxygen co-reactant or oxygen-containing precursor tends to oxidize the silicon substrate, producing a lower dielectric constant oxide layer at the interface between the substrate and the higher dielectric constant, gate dielectric material. It could be that the transition metal oxide acts as a catalytic source of activated oxygen, that the precursor molecules increase the oxygen activity or that oxygen from the precursor is incorporated in the growing oxide film. Whatever the cause, the presence of this interfacial oxide layer increases the effective oxide thickness, reducing the effectiveness of the alternative gate dielectric material. The existence of the interfacial oxide layer places a severe constraint on the performance of an alternative dielectric field effect device and therefore, is unacceptable.
- The use of metal oxide and metal oxy-nitride thin films comprising Zr, Hf, Y, La, Lanthanide series elements, Ta, Ti and/or Al and silicates of these metal oxides and metal oxy-nitrides are regarded as potential material replacements of the SiO2 gate oxides, (i.e., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,159,855 and 6,013,553). However, to ensure a high integrity interface between the silicon and the gate dielectric film these films must be deposited at relatively low temperatures.
- The source reagents and methodology employed to form such gate dielectric thin films are extremely critical for the provision of a gate structure having satisfactory electrical performance characteristics in the product device. Specifically, the source reagents and methodology must permit the gate dielectric thin film to form on a clean silicon surface, without the occurrence of side reactions producing predominantly silicon dioxide (SiO2), locally doped SiO2 and/or other impurities, that lower the dielectric constant and compromise the performance of the product microelectronic device. Accordingly, the absence of impurities is highly desirable.
- Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is the thin film deposition method of choice for high-density, large-scale fabrication of microelectronic device structures, and the semiconductor manufacturing industry has extensive expertise in its use. Metalorganic CVD (MOCVD) and more particularly atomic layer CVD (ALCVD) are particularly advantageous processes because they allow for lower deposition temperatures and stricter control of the stoichiometry and thickness of the formed layer.
- In the formation of gate dielectrics and other semiconductor manufacturing applications it is essential to control the composition of the deposited thin film. The molar ratio(s) of the different elements in the thin film typically corresponds very closely to a predetermined value. Therefore, it is very important to select a precursor delivery system that allows for strict control of the precursors delivered into the CVD chamber. Precursor delivery systems are well known in the art of CVD, (i.e., U.S. Pat. No. 5,820,678, entitled “Solid Source MOCVD System” describes the bubbler delivery approach and U.S. Pat. No. 5,204,314, entitled “Method for Delivering an Involatile Reagent in Vapor Form to a CVD Reactor,” and U.S. Pat. No. 5,536,323, entitled “Apparatus for Flash Vaporization Delivery of Reagents,” describe the liquid delivery, flash vaporization approach).
- Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of silicon-containing films provides uniform coverage. Liquid CVD precursors enable direct delivery or liquid injection of the precursors into a CVD vaporizer unit. The accurate and precise delivery rate can be obtained through volumetric metering to achieve reproducible CVD metallization during VLSI device manufacturing.
- Impurities that are known to lower the dielectric constant and/or increase leakage include among others, carbon and halides. Carbon and/or halide incorporation into the dielectric thin film would degrade leakage, dielectric constant, and overall electrical performance of the thin film. In contrast, nitrogen incorporation may exhibit some beneficial properties on the dielectric thin film.
- Excess halide may adversely affect a gate dieletric thin film in either of two ways. Halide incorporation into a gate dielectric thin film, may directly affect the electronic nature of the film, thereby reducing device lifetime. Secondly, halide, such as chloride, leads to formation of hydrogen chloride during the decomposition of the precursor, which potentially affects the CVD chamber making the treatment of the effluent from the chamber more challenging.
- Zr, Hf, Y, La, Lanthanide series elements, Ta, Ti, Al and/or silicon source reagents, specifically Zr and Hf-containing silicates such as ZrxSi1−xO2, and HfxSi1−xO2 are of great interest for use as next generation gate dielectrics. These materials possess dielectric constant (k) values in the range of 10 to 20, depending on x, and allow the use of a physical thickness to prevent leakage by electron tunneling. Given the feature sizes of the VLSI devices, CVD is becoming a unique technique for depositing these materials.
- In such applications, the choice of the zirconium or hafnium CVD source reagents and a compatible silicon source reagent is of critical importance for the successful deposition of high quality Zr or Hf silicate gate dielectric. Low temperature CVD silicon precursors are required to minimize the formation of interfacial silicon dioxide. Ideally, the precursors are compatible in solution and in vapor phase and decompose below 600° C. on substrate surfaces, forming Hf or Zr silicates in high purity and high density with no interfacial layer.
- The source reagents must be thermally stable to avoid premature decomposition of such source reagents before they reach the CVD reaction chamber during the CVD process. Premature decomposition of source reagents not only results in undesirable accumulation of side products that will clog fluid flow conduits of the CVD apparatus, but also causes undesirable variations in composition of the deposited gate dielectric thin film. Further, particle formation can result in deleterious yields in device fabrication.
- Further, Zr, Hf, Y, La, Lanthanide series elements, Ta, Ti, Al and/or silicon source reagents have to be chemically compatible with other source reagents used in the CVD process. “Chemically compatible” means that the source reagents will not undergo, undesirable side reactions with other co-deposited source reagents, and/or deleterious ligand exchange reactions that may alter the precursor properties, such as transport behavior, incorporation rates and film stoichiometries.
- Finally, Zr, Hf, Y, La, Lanthanide series elements, Ta, Ti, Al and/or silicon source reagents selected for MOCVD of dielectric thin films must be able to maintain their chemical identity over time when dissolved or suspended in organic solvents or used in conventional bubblers. Any change in chemical identity of source reagents in the solvent medium is deleterious since it impairs the ability of the CVD process to achieve repeatable delivery and film growth.
- There is a continuing need in the art to provide improved Zr, Hf, Y, La, Lanthanide series elements, Ta, Ti, Al and/or silicon source reagents suitable for high efficiency CVD processes, for fabricating corresponding high quality gate dielectric, thin films.
- Silicon amide source reagents are of great interest for use as low temperature CVD precursors in many applications, e.g., CVD of silicon nitride and early transition metal silicates. However, many commercially available silicon amides have unacceptably high levels of chloride.
- Currently available synthetic routes result in poor yields and/or impure material. For example, Gerard Kannengiesser and Francois Damm, (Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. (1967), (7), 2492-5) disclose the method outlined by equation (1) below and report a product yield of only about 20%.
SiCl4+4R2NMgBr→Si(NR2)4+4MgBrCl (1) - R. Gordon, D. Hoffman and U. Riaz report (Chem. Mater. 1990, 2, 480-482) the synthesis of Si(NMe2)4 using LiNMe2 and SiCl4 in toluene in 60% yield. When, the same experiment was repeated by the inventors of the instant invention, the product contained chlorine content too high (a few percent) for semiconductor grade materials.
- Therefore, it is one object of this invention to provide CVD precursors and CVD processes to deposit high dielectric constant thin films, having minimum carbon and halide incorporation and when deposited on a silicon substrate, minimal SiO2 interlayer.
- It is a further object of this invention to synthesize aminosilane source reagents in high yield and high purity.

- The metalloamide precursors of the present invention, when utilized in a CVD process to deposit dielectric thin films on a substrate, result in a dielectric thin film having very low levels of carbon and little or no halide impurity.

- Even after high a temperature anneal, the gate dielectric thin films of the invention have low leakage currents, show relatively little growth of interfacial SiO2, and thus have high specific capacitance with low interface state density. The dielectric properties of the thin films produced by the method disclosed herein are substantially improved over conventional silicon gate structures.

For example, the nitrogen and two carbon atoms may, together with additional atoms, form a six-membered heterocyclic ring such as a piperidine ring.

Preferred metalloamide source reagent compounds useful in the present invention include Zr(NMe2)4, Zr(NEt2)4, Hf(NEt2)4 and Hf(NMe2)4.
- In general, the silicon precursor composition(s) and method(s) of making such precursor composition(s) of the instant invention may be formulated to comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of any appropriate components herein disclosed, and such silicon precursor compositions of the invention may additionally, or alternatively, be formulated to be devoid, or substantially free, of any components taught to be necessary in prior art formulations that are not necessary to the achievement of the objects and purposes of the invention hereunder.
- The compositions of the present invention are useful in a number of applications. For example, the compositions may be used in the formation of silicon nitride barrier layers, low dielectric constant thin films and gate dielectric thin films in a semiconductor integrated circuit. To form such integrated circuits, a semiconductor substrate may have a number of dielectric and conductive layers formed on and/or within the substrate.
- As used herein, the semiconductor substrate may include a bare substrate or a substrate having any number of layers formed thereon and the term “thin film” refers to a material layer having a thickness of less than about 1000 microns.
- In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method of synthesizing an aminosilane source reagent composition, by reacting an aminosilane precursor compound with an amine source reagent compound in a solvent medium comprising at least one activating solvent component, to yield an aminosilane source reagent composition having reduced halide content as compared to the existing commercial precursors. Preferably the aminosilane source reagent compound comprises less than 1000 ppm halide, more preferably less than 500 ppm and most preferably less than 10 ppm halide.
- Aminosilane precursor compounds useful in the synthetic process of the instant invention must have reactive leaving groups, such as H and/or halogen. In one embodiment, aminosilane precursor compounds useful in the instant invention include but are not limited to, silicon halides, alkylsilanes and other aminosilanes. Preferably, the aminosilane precursor compound is a silicon halide compound comprising a composition selected from the group consisting of:
wherein R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl, and C1-C4 alkoxy; x is from 0 to 3; Si is silicon; A is halogen; y is from 1 to 4; N is nitrogen; each of R1 and R2 is same or different and is independently selected from the group consisting of H, aryl, perfluoroaryl, C1-C8 alkyl, and C1-C8 perfluoroalkyl; and n is from 1-6. Preferably, A is Cl. - The amine source reagent compounds useful in the synthetic process of the instant invention, include but are not limited to amines having a composition selected from the group consisting of
wherein B is selected from the group consisting of H, Li, Na, K, Zn and MgBr; N is nitrogen; R1 and R2 are same or different and each is independently selected from the group consisting of H, aryl, perfluoroaryl, C1-C8 alkyl, and C1-C8 perfluoroalkyl; and n is from 1-6.

- Many of the amine source reagent compounds useful in the present invention exist as oligomers. The oligomer prevents substitution of all reactive leaving groups (i.e., halides) on the aminosilane precursor compound, since the oligomer is not as soluble in many solvents and hence, not as reactive as its corresponding monomer. However, in the presence of a polar activating solvent, the oligomers are solvated into monomeric species, thus providing the impetus for the amine-leaving group substitution to occur.
- Non-polar solvents useful in the present invention include but are not limited to alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic hydrocarbons.

- (2) removing the non-polar solvent from the reaction mixture by vacuum evaporation;
- (3) adding an activating polar solvent to the partially substituted aminosilane component and the unreacted amine component of the reaction mixture of step (1) to at least partially activate the unreacted amine component;
- (4) continuing the reaction of step (3) for a period of time sufficient to provide for essentially stoichiometric substitution of at least one halide on the aminosilane precursor compound by an amine component.

wherein n is an integer number, typically ranging from 10 to 100, and different co-reactants have different oxidizing potentials. - The compositions of the present invention may be delivered to the CVD reactor in a variety of ways. For example, a liquid delivery system may be utilized. Such systems generally include the use of liquid MFCs (mass flow controllers). An exemplary liquid delivery system that may be used is the ATMI Sparta 150 Liquid Delivery System (commercially available from ATMI, Inc., Danbury, Conn.).
- Liquid delivery systems generally meter a desired flow rate of the precursor composition in liquid form to the CVD process tool. At the process tool chamber, or upstream thereof, the liquid may be vaporized through use of a vaporizer. Such vaporizers may utilize thermal heating, acoustics, ultrasound and high flow nebulizers. Further descriptions of liquid delivery systems are contained in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,204,314; 5,362,328; 5,536,323; and 5,711,816, the disclosures of which are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
- In the practice of the present invention utilizing liquid delivery, the silicon precursor species, if of solid or liquid form at ambient conditions, may be dissolved or suspended in a compatible solvent medium as more fully described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,820,664 issued Oct. 13, 1998 for “Precursor Compositions For Chemical Vapor Deposition, And Ligand Exchange Resistant Metal-Organic Precursor Solutions Comprising Same,” the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
- The precursors of the present invention may be deposited using any chemical vapor deposition system known in the art. A preferred liquid delivery MOCVD System is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,204,314, issued Apr. 20, 1993, for “Method for Delivering an Involatile Reagent in Vapor Form to a CVD Reactor,” the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
- In liquid delivery CVD, the source liquid may comprise the source reagent compound(s) if the compound or complex is in the liquid phase at ambient temperature (e.g., room temperature, 25° C.) or other supply temperature from which the source reagent is rapidly heated and vaporized to form precursor vapor for the CVD process. Alternatively, if the source reagent compound or complex is a solid at ambient or the supply temperature, such compound or complex can be dissolved or suspended in a compatible solvent medium therefore to provide a liquid phase composition that can be submitted to the rapid heating and vaporization to form precursor vapor for the CVD process. The precursor vapor resulting from the vaporization then is transported, optionally in combination with a carrier gas (e.g., He, Ar, H2, O2, etc.), to the chemical vapor deposition reactor where the vapor is contacted with a substrate at elevated temperature to deposit material from the vapor phase onto the substrate or semiconductor device precursor structure positioned in the CVD reactor.
- The precursor liquid may be vaporized in any suitable manner and with any suitable vaporization means to form corresponding precursor vapor for contacting with the elevated temperature substrate on which the dielectric film is to be formed. The vaporization may for example be carried out with a liquid delivery vaporizer unit of a type as commercially available from Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. (Danbury, Conn.) under the trademark SPARTA and VAPORSOURCE II, in which precursor liquid is discharged onto a heated vaporization element, such as a porous sintered metal surface, and flash vaporized. The vaporizer may be arranged to receive a carrier gas such as argon, helium, etc. and an oxygen-containing gas may be introduced as necessary to form the dielectric thin film. The precursor vapor thus is flowed to the chemical vapor deposition chamber and contacted with the substrate on which the dielectric film is to be deposited. The substrate is maintained at a suitable elevated temperature during the deposition operation by heating means such as a radiant heating assembly, a susceptor containing a resistance heating element, microwave heat generator, etc. Appropriate process conditions of temperature, pressure, flow rates and concentration (partial pressures) of metal and silicon components are maintained for sufficient time to form the dielectric film at the desired film thickness, (i.e., in a range of from about 2 nanometers to about 1000 micrometers), and with appropriate dielectric film characteristics.
- The step of vaporizing the source reagent compounds of the present invention is preferably carried out at a vaporization temperature in the range of from about 50° C. to about 300° C. Within this narrow range of vaporization temperature, the metalloamide and aminosilane source reagent compounds are effectively vaporized with a minimum extent of premature decomposition.
- In the optional use of a carrier gas in the practice of the present invention, for transporting the vaporized source reagent composition into the chemical vapor deposition zone, suitable carrier gas species include gases that do not adversely affect the dielectric film being formed on the substrate. Preferred gases include argon, helium, krypton or other inert gas, with argon gas generally being most preferred. In one illustrative embodiment, argon gas may be introduced for mixing with the vaporized source reagent composition at a flow rate of about 100 standard cubic centimeters per minute (sccm).
- Oxidizing gases useful for the broad practice of the present invention include, but are not limited to, O2, N2O, NO, H2O and O3, More preferably, the oxidizer used comprises N2O.
- The deposition of the silicon containing thin films of the present invention are preferably carried out under an elevated deposition temperature in a range of from about 250° C. to about 750° C. By way of example, Hf(NMe2)4 and Si(Me)4 may be mixed in a gas stream, (i.e., in a carrier gas), and mixed in the gas stream to the CVD reactor to produce the appropriate stoichiometry in a deposited HfSiO4 thin-film. Other metalloamides of the invention and silanes may be similarly employed with equivalent success, provided that the respective ligands do not produce undesirable non-degenerate ligand exchanges forming (undesired) new precursor species. It therefore is preferred to use the same ligand species, (i.e., methyl, ethyl, phenyl, etc.) for each of the metalloamide and silicon precursors used in combination with one another.
- By way of further example, Hf(NMe2)4 and Si(NMe)4 may be mixed in a gas stream, (i.e., in a carrier gas), and mixed in the gas stream to the CVD reactor to produce the appropriate stoichiometry in a deposited HfSiO4 thin-film. Other metalloamides of the invention and aminosilanes may be similarly employed with equivalent success, provided that the respective ligands do not produce undesirable non-degenerate ligand exchanges forming (undesired) new precursor species. It therefore is preferred to use the same ligand species, (i.e., methyl, ethyl, phenyl, etc.) for each of the metalloamide and aminosilane precursors used in combination with one another.
- By way of further example, a representative liquid delivery chemical vapor deposition approach is illustrated by the use of metalloamide source reagent compound, Zr(NMe2)4 and aminosilane source reagent compound Si(NMe2)4. The source reagent compounds are introduced into a chemical vapor deposition chamber using liquid delivery and oxidized in-situ to deposit on a substrate, the desired Zr silicate thin film composition based upon electrical performance and film stoichiometry. La(NMe2)4 may be added to the mixture to produce a Zr La doped silicate dielectric film under similar processing conditions.
- By way of further example, a representative liquid delivery chemical vapor deposition approach is illustrated by the use of metalloamide source reagent compound, Y(NMe2)3 and aminosilane source reagent compound Si(NEt2)4. The source reagent compounds are introduced into a chemical vapor deposition chamber using liquid delivery and oxidized in-situ to deposit on a substrate, the desired Y silicate thin film composition based upon electrical performance and film stoichiometry.
- By way of further example, a representative liquid delivery chemical vapor deposition approach is illustrated by the use of metalloamide source reagent compounds Hf(NMe2)4 and La(NMe2)5 and aminosilane source reagent compound Si(NEt2)4. The source reagent compounds are introduced into a chemical vapor deposition chamber using liquid delivery and oxidized in-situ to deposit on a substrate, the desired HfLa silicate thin film composition based upon electrical performance and film stoichiometry. Zr(NMe2)5 may be added to the mixture to produce Zr doped silicate films under similar processing conditions.
- As evidenced hereinabove, it is possible to use respective metalloamides and aminosilane compounds, (i.e., alkyl, and phenyl compounds), regardless of ligand identity and ligand exchange mechanisms, by the use of techniques such as atomic layer or pulsed CVD method, in which the incompatible precursors are separated both temporally and in the introduction lines to limit particle formation and undesired ligand exchange reactions.
- In a further embodiment, the present invention relates to a dielectric thin film, having a dielectric constant value in a range between about 4 to about 60 as measured at a frequency of 1 mega-Hertz, produced by a method comprising the steps of:
-
- vaporizing a precursor composition comprising at least one metalloamide compound of the formula: M(NR1R2)x, as described hereinabove, to form a source reagent precursor vapor;
- transporting such source reagent precursor vapor into a chemical vapor deposition zone containing a substrate, optionally using a carrier gas to effect such transport;
- contacting the source reagent precursor vapor with a substrate in such chemical vapor deposition zone in the presence of an oxidizer and at elevated temperature to deposit a corresponding M containing dielectric thin film.
- In a further embodiment the present invention relates to a silicon containing dielectric thin film, having a dielectric constant in a range between about 4 to about 60 as measured at a frequency of 1 mega-Hertz, by a method comprising the steps:
-
- vaporizing a source reagent precursor composition comprising at least one aminosilane compound of the formula: HxSi(NR1R2)4−x, as described hereinabove, to form a source reagent precursor vapor;
- transporting such source reagent precursor vapor into a chemical vapor deposition zone containing a substrate, optionally using a carrier gas to effect such transport;
- contacting the source reagent precursor vapor with a substrate in such chemical vapor deposition zone in the presence of an oxidizer and at elevated temperature to deposit a corresponding silicate dielectric thin film.
- The dielectric metal silicate thin films produced from the metalloamide materials of the present invention are pure metal silicate thin films comprising little or no carbon or halogen impurity. In a preferred embodiment the dielectric silicate thin films contain less than 1 atomic percent carbon and more preferably the thin films contain less than 1 ppm carbon and no detectable halogen.
- The dielectric silicate films produced in the broad practice of the invention include stoichiometric metal silicate films, as well as off-stoichiometric (metal-deficient) films. Where the precursor composition includes different source reagents providing respectively differential metal and/or silicon content, then the respective source reagents can be supplied in varied compositions to achieve desired stoichiometric characteristics in the corresponding product metal silicate films. In this manner, the electrical properties, including dielectric constant and leakage, can be controlled and closely tailored to a desired end use.
- The dielectric thin films produced by a method of the present invention are useful as, but not limited to: gate dielectric thin films, more particularly metal silicate gate dielectric thin films and metal oxy-nitride gate dielectric thin films; metal oxide high dielectric thin films; and ferroelectric thin films.
- The presence of nitrogen, in at least a partial thickness of the gate dielectric helps to prevent the diffusion of boron, such as from a boron-doped polysilcon gate electrode, to the channel region.
- Exemplary dielectric thin films formed by the method of the present invention include but are not limited to: ZrSiO4; HfSiO4; Ta1−x, AlxOy, where x is 0.03-0.7 and y is 1.5-3; Ta1−xSixOy, where x is 0.05-0.15 and y is 1.5-3; Ta1−x−zAlxSizOy, where 0.7>x+z>0.05, z<0.15 and y is 1.5-3; HfO2; ZrO2; Ta2O5; ZrxSi2−xO4 where x is 0.2-1.6; HfxSi2−xO4, where x is 0.2-1.6; HfxLaySi2−xO4+1.5y, where x is 0.2-1.6 and y is 0-1; ZrxLaySi2−xO4+1.5y, where x is 0.2-1.6 and y is 0-1; HfxAlySi2−xO4+1.5y, where x is 0.2-1.6 and y is 0-0.2; ZrxAlySi2−xO4+1.5y, where x is 0.2-1.6 and y is 0-0.2.
- The use of the compositions disclosed herein is not limited to liquid delivery systems, and any method, which adequately delivers the composition to the process tool is satisfactory. Thus, for example, bubbler-based delivery systems may be utilized, but are not preferred. In such systems, an inert carrier gas is bubbled through the precursor composition (typically in liquid form above its melting point). The resulting gas, which is wholly or partially saturated with the vapor of the composition, is provided to the CVD tool.
- Here and throughout this disclosure, where the invention provides that at least one aminosilane source reagent composition is present in a composition or method, the composition or method may contain or involve additional aminosilane and/or other compounds.

Experiment 1 - Silica films were grown with the silicon precursors listed in Table I, Si(NMe2)3Cl and Si(NEt2)2Cl2. Precursor solutions were prepared at 0.1M Si in octane. Substrates of (100) Si were prepared with an SC1 treatment followed by dilute HF to remove any native SiO2. The generic process conditions for the experiments are shown in Table II. Results from the growth of hafnia films encouraged the inventors to center initial experiments on growth in an N2O atmosphere although growth in O2 or other oxidizer could be used at temperatures at or below 500° C. A limited pressure-temperature matrix was performed for each Si precursor using the N2O ambient as shown in
FIGS. 2A and 2B .TABLE I Precursors used for film deposition. (Bis(diethyl-amino)dichlorosilane) Si(N(C2H5)2)2Cl2 (Tris(dimethyl-amino)chlorosilane) Si(N(CH3)2)3Cl Tetrakis(diethyl-amino)hafnium Hf(N(C2H5)2)4 TDEAHf Tetrakis(dimethyl-amino)hafnium Hf(N(CH3)2)4 TDMAHf -

Si(NMe2)3Cl is compatible with both TDEAHf and TDMAHf. A solution of 0.05M TDEAHf: 0.05M Si(NEt2)2Cl2 was produced by mixing the two 0.1M solutions. This mixture was used to grow films over the entire matrix of process conditions.
- Film thickness was measured using single-wavelength ellipsometry at 70° incidence angle, and XRF. For SiO2 deposition, all films were less than 30 Å thick, so an index of refraction could not be measured accurately. Film thickness was assigned based on an assumed index of refraction, n=1.46, typical of high quality thermal oxide. For HfO2, the XRF was calibrated by assuming the X-ray efficiencies were equivalent to TaO2.5, for which standards that been measured by RBS. The Hf:Si composition was estimated by assuming that both are fully oxidized and fully dense. The ellipsometric thickness not accounted for by HfO2 was assigned to SiO2, and composition was calculated from these two thicknesses.
- Results
- Growth rates of SiO2 were less than 3 Å/min under all conditions as shown in
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 . There is some indication that the Si(NEt2)2Cl2 may form silica films a little bit more readily, however, none of the growth rates are sufficient for the two precursors under the instant conditions. - The growth of SiO2 with only the TDEAHf, as measured by the subtraction of ellipsometric thickness from XRF thickness (shown in
FIG. 5 ) was greater than that from the Si(NEt2)2Cl2 precursor alone (FIG. 3 ) Films grown from the precursor mixture (TDEAHf+Si(NEt2)2Cl2) showed still higher SiO2 growth rates as shown inFIG. 6 . This increased growth rate compared toFIG. 3 is unexpected and should be quite useful for the growth of hafnium silicate films of uniform Hf:Si composition through the thickness of the film. - The films have a mixed Si:Hf composition on the film surface. The constant SiO2 growth rate over the range of 500-600° C. at 2.2 Torr being the same as 0.8 Torr at 600° C. is taken as evidence of mass transport limited deposition over the range of the process. The addition of water vapor or O2, should further decrease the temperature window wherein both Hf and Si alkylamido precursors transport and decompose reliably.

Experiment 2 Prior Art Synthetic Process - When attempts were made to synthesize Si(NR2)4 R=Et and Me by combining SiCl4 in hexanes with 5 equivalents of LiNR2, only ClSi(NMe2)3 and Cl2Si(NEt2)2 were obtained.
- Experiment 3 Synthesis of Tetrakis(Dialkylamino) Silanes
- SiCl4 reacts with 5 equivalents of LiNR2 initially in a non-polar solvent, such as hexanes. Then the non-polar solvent is pumped off completely under vacuum. Polar solvent is added into the reaction vessel to continue the reaction. The resulting slurry in polar solvent is refluxed for 4-8 hours to facilitate the completion of the reaction.

Experiment 4 Synthesis of Tetrakis(dimethylamino)Silane - The general reactions were carried out under a steady flow of nitrogen. A 5 L Schlenk flask was charged with 0.8 L of 1.6M solution of n-BuLi in hexane, 1 L of anhydrous hexane and a big magnetic stirring bar. Then 60 g (10% excess) of HNMe2 was bubbled into the Schlenk flask slowly at 0° C., under magnetic stirring. During the addition, very fine white precipitate of LiNMe2 was formed and the reaction mixture became extremely viscous. The mixture was allowed to reach room temperature and then was stirred for an additional 2 h. A solution of SiCl4 (43.5 g, 29.3 mL) in hexane (50 mL) was slowly added to the reaction flask. Moderate heat was generated (exothermic) and the external cooling to 0° C. was applied. Upon completion of SiCl4 addition, the mixture became less viscous. The mixture was allowed to reach room temperature and then was stirred for an additional 2 h. All volatiles were removed in vacuum. Then the reaction flask was charge with 0.5 L of anhydrous THF. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 4 h. THF was removed in vacuum to give a slurry-like mixture of Si(NMe2)4 and Li salts. 400 mL of hexane were added to extract Si(NMe2)4 and the resulting mixture was filtered. A second extraction was applied with 100 mL of hexane and a slightly yellow filtrate was obtained. Removal of volatiles under vacuum followed by the vacuum distillation (35° C. at 1 mmHg) gave 31.3 grams of colorless liquid. Yield: 60%. Bp. 35° C. at 1 mmHg. Anal.

The reaction mixture was maintained at 0° C. during the addition of HNEtMe (79.3 g, 1.344 mol, 5% excess) solution in hexane (100 mL). Very fine white precipitate of LiNEtMe formed immediately and the reaction mixture became extremely viscous. The mixture was allowed to reach room temperature and then was stirred for an additional hour. A solution of HSiCl3 (43.36 g, 0.32 mol) in hexane (100 mL) was slowly added to the reaction flask. Moderate heat was generated (exothermic) and the external cooling to 0° C. was applied. Upon completion of HSiCl3 addition, the mixture became less viscous. The mixture was allowed to reach room temperature and then was stirred for an additional hour. All volatiles were removed in vacuum. Then the reaction flask was charge with 0.5 L of anhydrous THF. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 4 h. THF was removed in vacuum. 300 mL of hexane were added to extract amidosilanes, the resulting mixture was filtered, and the precipitate was discarded. Removal of volatiles under vacuum followed by the vacuum distillation gave two fractions (28° C. at 0.5 mmHg and 50° C. at 0.3 mmHg) in 4:3 molar rations. The first fraction was confirmed to be HSi(NEtMe)3. The second fraction was identified as Si(NEtMe)4. Yield: 30%. Bp. 50° C. at 0.3 mmHg. Anal.
