Abstract

A known liquid mixture of [(CH3CH2)2N]3 Ta=NCH2CH3 and [(CH3CH2)2N]3Ta[ð2-CH3CH2N=CH(CH3)] was studied to deposit Ta2O5 and TaN thin films by CVD. Films were deposited at temperatures below 400°C using oxygen for oxide and ammonia for nitride, respectively. XRD analysis revealed that as-deposited amorphous tantalum oxide films were converted to hexagonal Ta2O5 after annealing under oxygen, while tantalum nitride thin films contained cubic TaN as deposited. The low viscosity, thermal stability, and sufficient volatility of the precursor allows direct liquid injection to deliver the precursor, which results in high deposition rate and uniformity of the deposited films.
