Although aluminium acetylacetonate, Al(C5H7O2)3, is a common precursor for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of aluminium oxide, its gas phase decomposition is not very well investigated. Here, we studied its thermal...

AbstractA novel technique for probing chemical vapor deposition reaction mechanisms is presented. A conventional hot-wall Pyrex reactor is coupled to a molecular beam apparatus. Preliminary results of the decomposition of an organometallic precursor to AIN, [AI(CH3)2NH2]3, indicate a decomposition temperature between 200 and 270°C. The mass spectrum of the precursor at 100°C provides evidence for the existence of a trimer-dimer equilibrium of the precursor at this temperature

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is one of the most important techniques for depositing thin films of the group 13 nitrides (13-Ns), AlN, GaN, InN and their alloys, for electronic device applications. The standard CVD chemistry for 13-Ns use ammonia as the nitrogen precursor, however, this gives an inefficient CVD chemistry forcing N/13 ratios of 100/1 or more. Here we investigate the hypothesis that replacing the N-H bonds in ammonia with weaker N-C bonds in methylamines will permit better CVD chemistry, allowing lower CVD temperatures and an improved N/13 ratio. Quantum chemical computations shows that while the methylamines have a more reactive gas phase chemistry, ammonia has a more reactive surface chemistry. CVD experiments using methylamines failed to deposit a continuous film, instead micrometer sized gallium droplets were deposited. This study shows that the nitrogen surface chemistry is most likely more important to consider than the gas phase chemistry when searching for better nitrogen precursors for 13-N CVD.
