  • Patent number: 12195488
    Abstract: According to the organometallic compound of the present invention and the thin film manufactured using the same, requirements of high volatility and excellent chemical/thermal stability are satisfied, and significantly improved thin-film deposition rates are exhibited even at low temperatures. In addition, property degradation due to by-products can be improved, excellent step coverage can be realized, and a thin film which, due to having a high dielectric constant, electrically satisfies the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) requirement while having a thickness at which tunneling does not physically occur can be implemented.

  • Patent number: 12180583
    Abstract: A method of forming a conformal layer including TiN in a via includes introducing a precursor into a reaction chamber according to a first exposure schedule. The precursor includes non-halogenated metal-organic titanium. The first exposure schedule indicates precursor exposure periods. Each precursor exposure period is associated with a particular duration of time and a particular duty cycle over which to introduce the precursor during the particular duration of time. The method includes introducing a co-reactant into the reaction chamber according to a second exposure schedule. The co-reactant includes nitrogen. The second exposure schedule indicates co-reactant exposure periods. Each co-reactant exposure period is associated with a particular duration of time and a particular duty cycle over which to introduce the co-reactant during the particular duration of time. The method includes providing the conformal layer including TiN in the via based on said introducing the precursor and the co-reactant.
