Synthesis of zirconium tetramethylheptanedione [Zr(thd)4] was optimized. Purity of Zr(thd)4 was confirmed by melting point determination, carbon, and hydrogen elemental analysis and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR). By using Zr(thd)4, excellent quality ZrO2 thin films were successfully deposited on single-crystal silicon wafers by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at reduced pressures. For substrate temperatures below 530 °C, the film deposition rates were very small (⋚1 nm/min). The film deposition rates were significantly affected by (i) source temperature, (ii) substrate temperature, and (iii) total pressure. As-deposited films are carbon free. Furthermore, only the tetragonal ZrO2 phase was identified in as-deposited films. The tetragonal phase transformed progressively into the monoclinic phase as the films were subjected to a high-temperature post-deposition annealing. The optical properties of the ZrO2 thin films as a function of wavelength, in the range of 200 nm to 2000 nm, were also reported. In addition, a simplified theoretical model which considers only a surface reaction was used to analyze the deposition of ZrO2 films. The model predicated the deposition rates well for various conditions in the hot wall reactor.

ABSTRACTWe have deposited Si-nitride thin films by remote plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition using different combinations of hydrogen and deuterium source gases. In one set of experiments, NH3 and SiH4 were injected downstream from a He plasma and the ratio of NH3 to SiH4 was adjusted so that deposited films contained IR-detectable bonded-H in SiN-H arrangements, but not in Si-H arrangements. Similar results were obtained using the same ND3 to SiD4 flow ratio; these films contained only SiN-D groups. However, films prepared from ND3 and SiH4 displayed both SiN-D and SiN-H groups in essentially equal concentrations establishing that H and D atoms bonded to N are derived from both source gases SiH (D) 4 and NH (D) 3, and further that inter-mixing of H and/or D atoms occurs at the growth surface. This reaction pathway is supported by additional studies in which films were grown from SD4 and ND3 with either i) He or ii) He/H2 mixtures being plasma excited. The films grown from the deuterated source gases without H2, displayed only SiN-D bands, whereas the films grown using the He/H2 mixture displayed both SiN-H and SiN-D bands. The total concentration of N-H and N-D bonds in the films grown from the He/H2 excitation was the same as the concentration of N-D, supporting the surface reaction model. In-situ mass spectrometry provides additional insights in the film deposition reactions.
