Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods of preparing thin films by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using titanium-based precursors.
- ALD atomic layer deposition
- ALD is a known method for the deposition of thin films. It is a self-limiting, sequential unique film growth technique based on surface reactions that can provide atomic layer control and deposit conformal thin films of materials provided by precursors onto substrates of varying compositions.
- the precursors are separated during the reaction. The first precursor is passed over the substrate producing a monolayer on the substrate. Any excess unreacted precursor is pumped out of the reaction chamber. A second precursor is then passed over the substrate and reacts with the first precursor, forming a monolayer of film on the substrate surface. This cycle is repeated to create a film of desired thickness.
- ALD processes have applications in nanotechnology and fabrication of semiconductor devices such as capacitor electrodes, gate electrodes, adhesive diffusion barriers and integrated circuits. Further, dielectric thin films having high dielectric constants (permittivities) are necessary in many sub-areas of microelectronics and optelectronics. The continual decrease in the size of microelectronics components has increased the need for the use of such dielectric films.

- the precursor may be dissolved in an appropriate hydrocarbon or amine solvent.
- Appropriate hydrocarbon solvents include, but are not limited to aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane, heptane and nonane; aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene and xylene; aliphatic and cyclic ethers, such as diglyme, triglyme and tetraglyme.
- appropriate amine solvents include, without limitation, octylamine and N,N-dimethyldodecylamine.
- the precursor may be dissolved in toluene to yield a 0.05 to 1M solution.
- At least one precursor corresponding in structure to Formula I-III may be delivered “neat” (undiluted by a carrier gas) to the substrate.

- ALD relies substantially on chemical reactivity and not thermal decomposition. Therefore, there are fundamental differences in the characteristics desirable for a suitable precursor.
- the precursor must be thermally stable at the temperatures employed and should be sufficiently volatile to allow deposition onto the substrate.
- a fast and complete chemical reaction is necessary between the metal precursor and the oxide or nitride source. However, the reaction should only take place at the substrate surface so as not to damage the underlying structure and by-products, such as carbon and hydrogen, should be removed readily from the surface.
- the precursors of Formula I-III provide an increased ability to deposit titanium-containing films, particularly metal oxide films, by ALD at growth rates approaching that for simple metal amides but can operate at higher temperatures due to increased thermal stability which leads to improved product quality.

- the vaporization characteristics of the optimized new sources are clearly demonstrated as superior to the conventional titanium source with reduced residues at higher temperatures.
- the ability to access higher growth temperatures without premature decomposition is of great benefit to ALD process, especially at larger batch sizes where uniformity of film thicknesses over large areas is critical.
- Titanium oxide thin films were deposited in a custom-built ALD reactor. (MeCp)Ti(OiPr) 3 and ozone were used as precursors. The titanium oxide films were deposited on silicon wafer substrates. Prior to deposition, the wafer substrates were prepared by dicing the wafer (1 inch ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2 inch), and 1% HF polished.
- the growth temperature was 200-350° C.
- the growth pressure was 0.5-1.5 Torr.
- the reactor was continuously purged with 30 sccm of dry nitrogen. All the computer controlled valves in the reactor were the air operated ALD VCR valves from Cajon.
- Ozone was purged in excess.
- the titanium was stored in a stainless steel ampoule. Attached directly to the ampoule was an ALD valve. The output of this ALD valve was Tee'd with another ALD valve used for nitrogen injection. The Tee outlet leg was connected to a 500 cm 3 stainless steel reservoir. The outlet of the reservoir was attached to a third ALD valve, called the inject valve, whose outlet goes directly to the reactor. Nitrogen injection was used to build up the total pressure behind the titanium inject valve so that the pressure was higher than the reactor growth pressure. The injected nitrogen was accomplished using a 30 micron pin hole VCR gasket. All of the valves and ampoule were placed into an oven-like enclosure that allowed the ampoule, valves, and tubing to be heated uniformly to 50° C. to 250° C.
- valves were sequenced in the following manner.
- the titanium precursor was introduced to the activated silicon surface.
- a nitrogen purge then took place which included evacuation to remove surplus reactant molecules not attached to the surface.
- Ozone was then introduced as a co-reactant species, followed by an additional purge with nitrogen. The ozone was then injected to start the ALD cycle all over again.
- the total amount of cycles was from 100 to 400, typically 300. Results showed that the deposition rate was independent of the titanium dose as varied through its vapor pressure, which in turn was varied through its evaporation temperature. This proves that the film growth proceeded in a self-limiting manner as is characteristic of ALD.
