Popis: | The growth characteristics of Ta2O5 thin films by atomic layer deposition (ALD) were examined using Ta(NtBu)(NEt2)3 (TBTDET) and Ta(NtBu)(NEt2)2Cp (TBDETCp) as Ta-precursors, where tBu, Et, and Cp represent tert-butyl, ethyl, and cyclopentadienyl groups, respectively, along with water vapor as oxygen source. The grown Ta2O5 films were amorphous with very smooth surface morphology for both the Ta-precursors. The saturated ALD growth rates of Ta2O5 films were 0.77 A cycle–1 at 250 °C and 0.67 A cycle–1 at 300 °C using TBTDET and TBDETCp precursors, respectively. The thermal decomposition of the amido ligand (NEt2) limited the ALD process temperature below 275 °C for TBTDET precursor. However, the ALD temperature window could be extended up to 325 °C due to a strong Ta–Cp bond for the TBDETCp precursor. Because of the improved thermal stability of TBDETCp precursor, excellent nonuniformity of ∼2% in 200 mm wafer could be achieved with a step coverage of ∼90% in a deep hole structure (aspect ratio 5:1) which ... |
