Abstract

A film-forming composition including a 3-intracyclic cyclopentadienyl precursor and dimethyethylamine is useful for Atomic Layer Deposition, and improves viscosity and volatility while maintaining unique features of metal precursors.

Claims (29)

1. A film-forming composition comprising:

a 3-intracyclic cyclopentadienyl precursor and dimethyethylamine,

wherein the 3-intracyclic cyclopentadienyl precursor is represented by the following formula 1,

wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Zr, Hf, and Ti.

2. The film-forming composition of claim 1 , wherein the dimethyethylamine is included in the composition in an amount of 1 to 99 wt % based on the total amount of the composition.

3. The film-forming composition of claim 1 , wherein the precursor and the dimethyethylamine have a weight ratio of 1:99 to 99:1.

4. A method for fabricating a film comprising:

depositing a film-forming composition over a substrate to form a film,

wherein the film-forming composition comprises a 3-intracyclic cyclopentadienyl precursor and dimethyethylamine,

wherein the 3-intracyclic cyclopentadienyl precursor is represented by the following formula 1,

wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Zr, Hf, and Ti.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the film is deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the depositing of the film includes:

preparing a liquid-phase composition by dissolving the precursor in the dimethyethylamine,

placing a substrate in a chamber, and

introducing the liquid-phase composition into the chamber through Liquid Delivery System.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the depositing of the film further includes vaporizing the liquid-phase composition, and

wherein the introducing of the liquid-phase composition includes introducing the vaporized liquid-phase composition into the chamber.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein the dimethyethylamine is included in an amount of 1 to 99 wt % based on the total amount of the film-forming composition.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein the precursor and the dimethyethylamine has a weight ratio of 1:99 to 99:1.

10. A method for fabricating a film comprising:

preparing a liquid-phase metal precursor by dissolving a 3-intracyclic cyclopentadienyl metal precursor in dimethyethylamine, wherein the 3-intracyclic cyclopentadienyl metal precursor is represented by the following formula 1,

wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Zr, Hf, and Ti;

vaporizing the liquid-phase metal precursor and introducing the vaporized metal precursor into a chamber with a substrate;

adsorbing the vaporized metal precursor over the substrate; and

feeding a reactant reactable with the adsorbed metal precursor to form a metal-containing film over the substrate.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the metal-containing film comprises a metal selected from the group consisting of Zr, Ti, Hf, an oxide of the metal, and a nitride of the metal.

12. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the forming of the metal-containing film is performed by atomic layer deposition or chemical vapor deposition.
