Abstract: Organoaminosilanes, such as without limitation di-iso-propylaminosilane (DIPAS), are precursors for the deposition of silicon containing films such as silicon-oxide and silicon-nitride films. Described herein are methods to make organoaminosilane compounds, or other compounds such as organoaminodisilanes and organoaminocarbosilanes, via the catalytic hydrosilylation of an imine by a silicon source comprising a hydridosilane.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are containing silicon-based films and compositions and methods for forming the same. The silicon-based films contain <50 atomic % of silicon. In one aspect, the silicon-based films have a composition SixCyNz wherein x is about 0 to about 55, y is about 35 to about 100, and z is about 0 to about 50 atomic weight (wt.) percent (%) as measured by XPS. In another aspect, the silicon-based films were deposited using at least one organosilicon precursor comprising two silicon atoms, at least one Si-Me group, and an ethylene or propylene linkage between the silicon atoms such as 1,4-disilapentane.

Abstract: Described herein are precursors and methods for forming silicon-containing films. In one aspect, the precursor comprises a compound represented by one of following Formulae A through E below: In one particular embodiment, the organoaminosilane precursors are effective for a low temperature (e.g., 350° C. or less), atomic layer deposition (ALD) or plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) of a silicon-containing film. In addition, described herein is a composition comprising an organoaminosilane described herein wherein the organoaminosilane is substantially free of at least one selected from the amines, halides (e.g., Cl, F, I, Br), higher molecular weight species, and trace metals.
