Abstract
Amino-functionalized linear and cyclic oligosiloxanes, which have at least two silicon and two oxygen atoms as well as an organoamino group and methods for making the oligosiloxanes are disclosed. Methods for depositing silicon and oxygen containing films using the organoamino-functionalized linear and cyclic oligosiloxanes are also disclosed.
Claims12
A method for depositing a silicon and oxygen containing film via flowable chemical vapor deposition (FCVD), the method comprising:
- placing a substrate comprising a surface feature into a reactor wherein the substrate is maintained at one or more temperatures ranging from −20° C. to 400° C. and a pressure of the reactor is maintained at 100 torr or less;
- introducing into the reactor at least one compound selected from the group consisting of Formulae A to E:
- wherein
- R1 is selected from a linear C1 to C10 alkyl group, a branched C3 to C10 alkyl group, a C3 to C10 cyclic alkyl group, a C3 to C10 heterocyclic group, and a C4 to C10 aryl group;
- R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a C1 to C10 linear alkyl group, a branched C3 to C10 alkyl group, a C3 to C10 cyclic alkyl group, a C3 to C10 heterocyclic group, and a C4 to C10 aryl group, wherein R1 and R2 are either linked to form a cyclic ring structure or are not linked to form a cyclic ring structure;
- R3-10 are each independently selected from hydrogen, a linear C1 to C10 alkyl group, a branched C3 to C10 alkyl group, a C3 to C10 cyclic alkyl group, and a C4 to C10 aryl group;
- X is selected from the group consisting of a linear C1 to C10 alkyl group, a branched C3 to C10 alkyl group, a C3 to C10 cyclic alkyl group, a C4 to C10 aryl group, a C1 to C10 acyl group, —NR1 R2, wherein R1-2 are defined as above, H, Cl, Br, I, F, a C2 to C12 carboxylate group, a C1 to C10 linear or branched alkoxy group, a trimethylsiloxy group, a dimethylsiloxy group, a methylsiloxy group, or a siloxy group, wherein R1 and X are either linked to form a cyclic ring or are not linked to form a cyclic ring;
- providing an oxygen source, a nitrogen source, or an oxygen source and a nitrogen source into the reactor to react with the at least one compound to form a film and cover at least a portion of the surface feature;
- annealing the film at one or more temperatures of 100° C. to 1000° C. to coat at least a portion of the surface feature;
- and
- treating the annealed film with an oxygen source at one or more temperatures ranging from 20° C. to 1000° C. to form a silicon and oxygen containing film on at least a portion of the surface feature.
