AbstractThis paper explores the use of a flow-tube reactor coupled to an FTIR spectrometer to study gas-phase chemical reactions in CVD systems. We show that our apparatus can generate reliable kinetics data by reproducing the literature rate constant for the reaction between O3 and isobutene. We present data from this apparatus on two technologically important systems: TiN from Ti(NMe2)4 (TDMAT) and NH3 and SiO2 from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and O3. The results presented include kinetics data for the reaction of Ti(NMe2)4 with NH3 and ND3 at room temperature and the IR spectra of the products from the reaction of TEOS with O3 at 175°C.

ABSTRACTThe gas-phase chemical reactions in the Metallorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) of A1N and TiN have been studied using IR spectroscopy. The products formed from the reaction of trimethyl aluminum (TMA) and NH3 were compared to those from the reaction of TMAwith NF3 using a static gas-phase IR cell. Reaction with NH3 is rapid at 25 °C, and the IR spectrum of the product is consistent with the acid-base adduct (CH3)3Al-NH3. At 25 °C, no reaction between TMA and NF3 was observed. However, at 58 °C a slow reaction occurredto give (CH3)2AlF. The reaction of Ti(N(CH3)2)4 with NH3 was also studied using a flow-tube reactor with a sliding injector port that provides control over the reaction time between two reactive flows. By monitoring the disappearance of Ti(N(CH3)2)4 as a function of NH3 partial pressure and reaction time, we have obtained a preliminary estimate of the rate constant as ∼ 10−16 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 at 25 °C. This result confirms that the reaction is rapid even at room temperature and demonstrates the utility of the flow-tube reactor and FTIR spectrometer for studies of MOCVD chemistry.

AbstractThe gas-phase chemical reaction between Ti(NMe2)4 and NH3 is a critical step in the Metallorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) of TiN at low temperatures. We have examined this reaction using a flow-tube reactor coupled to an FTIR spectrometer. A sliding injector provides control over the reaction time and the kinetics of reactive species can be measured as a function of the partial pressure of an added reagent. The disappearance of Ti(NMe2)4 was measured as a function of reaction time and NH3 pressure at 26°C. The resulting bimolecular rate constant is (1.1±0. 1) x 10-16 cm3molecules−1s−1 Dimethylamine is observed as a direct product from this reaction consistent with other studies. We have also measured the rate constant using ND3 and find a substantial isotope effect, kh/kd ≈2.4± 0.4. This indicates that H-atom transfer is involved in the rate limiting step. We show that these results can be explained by a mechanism comprised of transamination reactions with NH3.

Preparation of di-imide by passing hydrazine vapor through a microwave discharge yields mixtures with NH3 containing typically about 15% N2H2, estimated from the gases evolved on decomposition. The behavior of the mixture (which melts at −65 °C) on warming from −196 to −30 °C suggests a strong interaction between the components. Measurements of magnetic susceptibility and e.p.r. experiments showed that N2H2 is not strongly paramagnetic, which with other observations points to a singlet rather than a triplet ground-state.Di-imide can be vaporized efficiently, together with NH3, by rapid warming, and the vapor is surprisingly long-lived, with a typical half-life of several minutes at room temperature. The near-u.v. (3200–4400 Å) absorption spectrum of the vapor was photographed; it shows well-defined but diffuse bands, with εmax = 6(± 3) at 3450 Å.Di-imide decomposes at room temperature in two ways:[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Formation of NH3 was not observed but cannot be ruled out. The decomposition of the vapor is complicated by a sizeable and variable decomposition that occurs rapidly during the vaporization. The stoichiometry of this and the vapor-phase decomposition depends on total pressure and di-imide concentration. The kinetics of the decomposition of the vapor were studied from 22 to 200 °C by following the disappearance of N2H2 by absorption of light at 3450 Å, or the formation of N2H4 by absorption at 2400 Å, and by mass spectrometry. The kinetics are complex and can be either first- or second-order, or mixed, depending on surface conditions. The effect of olefin additives on the decomposition was studied, and is also complex.Mechanisms for the decomposition are discussed, including the possible role of trans-cis isomerization. The relatively long lifetime found for di-imide in the gas phase suggests that it may be an important intermediate in many reactions of hydronitrogen systems.
