Organometallic precursors for atomic layer deposition (ALD) that have metal atoms bound to cyclopentadienyl, are stored at a sufficiently high temperature due to their low volatility and consumed through continuous deposition for a commercial semiconductor process. In this case, thermal degradation slowly occurs due to storage at a high temperature for a long time, which causes deterioration of physical properties and reliability of the thin film. However, a technique for assessing the reliability of precursor has been undeveloped and thus causing the development of new precursors to be delayed. In this study, we have developed a reliability evaluation method for cyclopentadienyl tris(dimethylamino) zirconium through accelerated thermal degradation test under severe environmental conditions in a short period of time. |
