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.

AbstractExcellent quality ZrO2 thin films were successfully deposited on single crystal silicon wafers by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at reduced pressures using tetrakis(2,2,6,6—tetramethyl—3,5—heptanedionato) zirconium, [Zr(thd)4]. For substrate temperatures below 530°C, the film deposition rates were very small (≤ 1 nm/min). The film deposition rates were significantly affected by: (1) source temperature, (2) substrate temperature, and (3) total pressure. As—deposited films are stoichiometric (Zr/O = 1/2) and 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 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, are reported. The measured value of the dielectric constant of the as—deposited ZrO2 films is around 19 in the frequency range of 5 kHz to 1000 kHz.
