High Purity Silicon Amido Precursors for Low Temperature Cvd of High к Gate Silicates

Abstract

AbstractHigh purity silicon amido precursors provide a route to low temperature CVD of silicate gate dielectrics. We have developed a straightforward synthetic method for the production of high purity Si[N(CH3)2]4, Si(NMeEt)4, HSi(NEtMe)3 and HSi(NEt2)3 in high yield. These compounds were fully characterized by NMR, GC/MS, ICP-MS, ICchlorine, and elemental analysis. Their solution compatibility with an Hf amide source was also examined by chemical techniques. Low temperature CVD of metal silicate films is also demonstrated.
