  • Patent number: 9783429
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a purification method to give dodecacarbonyl triruthenium (DCR) which serves as a raw material for chemical vapor deposition and does not cause the contamination of a thin film with impurities even when used to form a ruthenium thin film. The present invention relates to a method in which the dissolved oxygen concentration in the solvent is made 0.2 mg/L or less in at least a dissolution stage, and an organic ruthenium compound including DCR as a raw material for chemical vapor deposition is purified by a recrystallization method. The present invention allows a trace amount of impurities to be separated from DCR. When a ruthenium thin film is formed by use of DCR thus obtained, the formed film is hardly contaminated with impurities. Additionally, the purification method of the present invention is also applicable for recovering/purifying DCR after being used for the formation of a ruthenium thin film.

  • Patent number: 9499411
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing DCR that can efficiently sublimate a large amount of crude DCR to stably supply DCR. Also, the present invention relates to a sublimation apparatus applicable to the production method. The method for producing an organoruthenium compound for a chemical vapor deposition raw material containing dodecacarbonyl triruthenium (DCR) includes the step for purifying DCR by separating impurity elements from crude DCR by a sublimation method, and in the purification step, crude DCR is heated and sublimated in an atmosphere having a carbon monoxide concentration of 30 to 100% and then cooled to precipitate DCR. According to the present invention, a large amount of crude DCR can be efficiently sublimated, and thus a large amount of DCR can be supplied stably.
