Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、有機金属化学気相成長法(Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition、以下、MOCVD法という。)や液相成長法により成膜され、半導体デバイスのバリア膜や、強誘電体用酸化物膜として有用なバナジウム含有薄膜の原料として好適な有機バナジウム化合物及び該化合物を含む溶液原料並びにバナジウム含有薄膜の形成方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、半導体集積回路の配線材料にはAlやAl合金が用いられてきたが、集積回路の高速化、高集積化、微細化及び複雑化に伴い、低抵抗でかつ許容電流密度の高い銅配線に移行しつつある。通常、銅はシリコンへの拡散し易いため、銅配線を行う場合、この拡散を防止するためにシリコンと銅との間にバリア膜が形成されている。タンタル、ニオブ、チタン、ジルコニウム等の窒化物がバリア膜の材質として用いられている。
しかし、高集積化や複雑化が進むにつれ、層間絶縁膜や配線絶縁膜の薄膜化以上にコンタクトホールの径や溝部の幅の微細化が進み、径や溝部におけるアスペクト比が大きくなっているため、コンタクトホールに対する配線材料等の埋込みが困難になっている。アスペクト比が大きい溝部にバリア膜を形成すると、溝部に対してバリア膜が局所的に堆積され、バリア膜の厚さが不均一になる。そして不均一なバリア膜上に銅をめっきして配線を形成すると、配線中にボイドが形成されてしまう。このようにボイドが形成されると、コンタクトプラグにおける電気的な接続不良、高抵抗化、耐エレクトロマイグレーション性の低下等の配線不良が生じる。
【0003】
この問題を解決する方策として、金属膜や金属窒化物膜を形成する材料として、シクロペンタジエニル官能基(以下、Cpという。)にSiを含む有機基が結合して形成された配位子と、水素がそれぞれ中心金属に配位した、一般式が(Cp(R)MHy−xで示される有機金属前駆体の化学蒸着を用い、金属或いは金属窒化物を基板上に大気圧以下の圧力で形成させる方法が開示されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。この一般式におけるMはタンタル、バナジウム、ニオブ、及びハフニウムから選ばれる金属であり、RはSiを含む有機基である。この特許文献1に示される方法により形成される金属膜としては、バナジウム、タンタル、ニオブ、ハフニウム、ケイ化バナジウム、ケイ化タンタル、ケイ化ニオブ、ケイ化ハフニウムなどが、また金属窒化物膜としては、窒化タンタル、タンタル炭素窒化物、タンタルケイ素窒化物、窒化バナジウム、バナジウム炭素窒化物、ニオブケイ素窒化物、窒化にオブ、ニオブ炭素窒化物、ニオブケイ素窒化物、窒化ハフニウム、ハフニウム炭素窒化物、ハフニウムケイ素窒化物などがある。上記特許文献1では一般式(Cp(R)MHy−xで示される前駆体を化学蒸着に用い、金属或いは金属窒化物を基板上に大気圧以下の圧力で形成させることにより、基板に堆積させる際に生じていた空隙生成とデバイス欠陥の発生を抑制し、均一な膜を形成することができる。
【0004】
一方、書換え可能メモリの主流であるDRAMは、揮発性メモリであって、記憶保持のために周期的に電流を流す必要があり、消費電力が大きいことが環境面から問題になっている。そこで、不揮発性で記憶を長期間保持でき、消費電力が少なく、DRAMと互換性のあるFeRAM等の強誘電体メモリが注目を集めている。強誘電体メモリは、上記の特徴に加えて、書込み電圧が低い、高速書込みが可能、書換え回数が多い、ビット書換え可能、ランダムアクセスが可能といった様々な利点もあるため、多くの研究が現在進められている。
強誘電体メモリは、DRAMの蓄積コンデンサ材料として強誘電体薄膜を用い、その分極ヒステリシス現象を利用して、この薄膜に記憶機能を持たせたものである。強誘電体薄膜材料には、自発分極が大きいPZTや、優れた強誘電性と無疲労特性を持つ(Bi,La)Ti12(以下、BLTという。)等の複合酸化物系材料が用いられる。このうち、BLTのTiのサイトの一部をVで置換した(Bi,La)(Ti,V)12(以下、BLTVという。)が、BLTより低温の成膜で良好な特性が得られたと報告されている。
BLTV薄膜の形成方法としては、Bi原料や、La原料、Ti原料などとともに、バナジウムトリエトキシドオキシド(以下、VO(OEt)という。)のようなV原料の蒸気をキャリアガスにより各原料それぞれ独立して成膜室に導入することで良好な結果が得られている。しかし複数の原料化合物を1つの有機溶媒に溶解し、その溶液をフラッシュ蒸発させて成膜室に供給する方法では、La原料として使用されるランタントリス(ジピバロイルメタネート)(以下、La(dpm)という。)と、VO(OEt)のようなアルコキシドは、配位子の交換反応を起こしやすい問題があった。
【0005】
この問題を解決する方策として、MOCVD法によるバナジウム含有酸化物薄膜の製造に、バナジウムトリス(β−ジケトネート)を原料として用いることが提案されている(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。上記特許文献2では、溶液フラッシュCVDによりBLTV膜を成膜するためのLa、Ti、Vを含む3成分の溶液としてバナジウムトリス(β−ジケトネート)を用いた原料溶液を使うとポットライフが長いという効果を有する。また、3成分を1液とすることができるので、組成制御が容易になり、BLTV膜の量産に有効である。
同様に、MOCVDのV原料として好適な高純度のバナジウムトリス(β−ジケトネート)の製造方法が提案されている(例えば、特許文献3参照。)。上記特許文献3では、三塩化バナジウムとβジケトンとアンモニアを有機溶媒中で反応させ、副生塩化アンモニウムを濾過分離し、溶媒と未反応原料を留去し、真空蒸留又は昇華回収することで、各金属元素不純物が5ppm以下の高純度バナジウムトリス(β−ジケトネート)が得られる。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記特許文献1の一般式が(Cp(R)MHy−xで示される有機金属前駆体中の有機基Rは、少なくとも1つの炭素−Si結合を有するアルキルシリル官能基からなる。この炭素−Si結合は強く、分解し難い性質がある。また、前駆体内部の電子がV金属原子に流れ込む構造を有しているため、安定性が高く、熱分解が容易ではない。この前駆体を用いて成膜すると、前駆体が熱電子を受けてエネルギーが与えられることでラジカル種を生じ、このラジカル種は主にHを切断した活性種となるため極めて反応性が高い。また同様に生じた活性種との同時反応が起こり、トリマーやテトラマーといったオリゴメーション形態となって、このオリゴマーが熱電子を受けて、成膜の基板に寄与するラジカル種を新たに形成することになる。このように生じた活性種は基板との相互作用が比較的高いが、V金属原子は基板との原子距離が近くないため、成膜原料として適当ではない。また、この前駆体は分子が大きいため相互作用も大きく、付着確率が高い、被覆性が悪化するなどの傾向があった。
また、上記特許文献2及び3にそれぞれ示されたバナジウムトリス(β−ジケトネート)は熱安定性が悪い、分解温度が高い、成膜速度が遅い、成膜した膜の段差被覆性が悪いなどの問題があり、成膜原料として適当ではない。
【0008】
本発明の目的は、気化安定性に優れ、高い成膜速度を有する有機バナジウム化合物及び該化合物を含む溶液原料を提供することにある。
本発明の別の目的は、良好な段差被覆性を有するバナジウム含有薄膜の形成方法を提供することにある。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1に係る発明は、次の式(1)に示される有機バナジウム化合物である。
V[N(R ……(1)
但し、式中のRは炭素数が3又は4の直鎖又は分岐状アルキル基であり、nは中心金属Vの価数を示し、Vの価数は3,4又は5である。
請求項1に係る有機バナジウム化合物では、V金属に配位子として電子供与性の高いアミンを配位させることで、安定性の高い有機バナジウム化合物を得ることができる。更に電子供与性の高いアミンに嵩高いアルキルが結合したアルキルアミンを用いることで、低酸化数の有機バナジウム化合物を容易に作製することができる。従って、本発明の有機バナジウム化合物は、従来の低酸化数のバナジウム化合物に比べて不安定さが低減される。一般に価数が小さいバナジウムは熱的に不安定であるが、本発明ではバナジウムに、嵩高いアルキル基が結合した電子供与性が高いアミンを配位させることで、基板へのクーロン相互作用が得やすくなる。そのため、酸化バナジウムや窒化バナジウム等を成膜する際の初期核成長を促進できる。その結果、反応ガスの添加によって分解し易く、高速成長が可能になる。
【0010】
請求項2に係る発明は、次の式(2)で示される有機金属化学蒸着用の有機バナジウム化合物単体からなる有機金属化学蒸着用溶液原料である。

請求項2に係る溶液原料では、メチル基又はエチル基が結合したアミンが配位した有機バナジウム化合物単体からなり、炭素数3〜4のアルキルアミン有機バナジウム化合物よりは小さい初期核成長ではあるが、気相中でダイマー化が起こりやすく、成長核を促進させる効果があると思われる。
【0011】

【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
本発明の有機バナジウム化合物は、次の式(1)に示される化合物である。
V[N(R ……(1)
但し、式中のRは炭素数が3又は4の直鎖又は分岐状アルキル基であり、nは中心金属Vの価数を示し、Vの価数は3,4又は5である。
上記式(1)に示される有機バナジウム化合物は、価数が3、4又は5のバナジウムを中心金属とし、炭素数が3又は4の直鎖又は分岐状アルキル基であるRが2つ結合したアミンをバナジウムの価数分だけ配位させた化合物であり、常温常圧で液体を示す。V金属に配位子として電子供与性の高いアミンを配位させることで、安定性の高い有機バナジウム化合物を得ることができる。更に電子供与性の高いアミンに嵩高いアルキルが結合したアルキルアミンを用いることで、低酸化数の有機バナジウム化合物を容易に作製することができる。従って、本発明の有機バナジウム化合物は、従来の低酸化数のバナジウム化合物に比べて不安定さが低減される。一般に価数が小さいバナジウムは熱的に不安定であるが、本発明ではバナジウムに、嵩高いアルキル基が結合した電子供与性が高いアミンを配位させることで、基板へのクーロン相互作用が得やすくなる。そのため、酸化バナジウムや窒化バナジウム等を成膜する際の初期核成長を促進できる。その結果、反応ガスの添加によって分解し易く、高速成長が可能になる。
本発明の有機バナジウム化合物、例えば上記式(1)のRをイソプロピル基、Vの価数を4価とした化合物であるV(iPrN)を製造する方法としては、4臭化バナジウムを溶媒であるTHFに室温で溶解し、この溶解液にt−ブチルジイソプロピルアミンをバナジウムの4モル倍にあたる添加量だけ氷冷下でゆっくり添加して添加液を調製する。添加液を室温まで戻して約30分間攪拌し反応させる。反応液を減圧して溶媒を除去する。更に溶媒を除去して残った残渣を減圧して30分保持し、残渣を蒸留することで、V(iPrN)が得られる。
【0013】
本発明の有機金属化学蒸着用溶液原料は、次の式(2)で示される有機金属化学蒸着用の有機バナジウム化合物単体からなる。
V[N(R ……(2)
但し、式中のRはメチル基又はエチル基であり、nは中心金属Vの価数を示し、Vの価数は3,4又は5である。
メチル基又はエチル基が結合したアミンが配位した有機バナジウム化合物単体は常温常圧で液体を示し、この有機バナジウム化合物単体からなる溶液原料は、炭素数3〜4のアルキルアミン有機バナジウム化合物よりは小さい初期核成長ではあるが、気相中でダイマー化が起こりやすく、成長核を促進させる効果があると思われる。
本発明の有機バナジウム化合物単体からなる溶液原料、例えば上記式(2)のRをメチル基、Vの価数を3価とした化合物であるV(MeN)を製造する方法としては、3臭化バナジウムを溶媒であるTHFに室温で溶解し、この溶解液にt−ブチルジメチルアミンをバナジウムの3モル倍にあたる添加量だけ氷冷下でゆっくり添加して添加液を調製する。添加液を室温まで戻して約30分間攪拌し反応させる。反応液を減圧して溶媒を除去する。更に溶媒を除去して残った残渣を減圧して30分保持し、残渣を蒸留することで、V(MeN)が得られる。
【0014】
また、本発明の溶液原料は、本発明の上記式(1)に示される有機バナジウム化合物を有機溶媒に溶解することで調製される。また上記式(2)に示される溶液原料を有機溶媒に溶解することでも調製される。有機溶媒と上記式(1)の有機バナジウム化合物や上記式(2)の溶液原料との混合割合は特に規定されず、MOCVDに用いる際に十分な溶解がされればよい。有機溶媒としては、テトラヒドロフラン、メチルテトラヒドロフラン、n−オクタン、イソオクタン、ヘキサン、シクロヘキサン、メチルシクロヘキサン、エチルシクロヘキサン、ピリジン、ルチジン、酢酸ブチル、酢酸アミル、酢酸メチル及び酢酸エチルからなる群より選ばれた1種又は2種以上の溶媒が挙げられる。
このようにして得られた有機バナジウム化合物又は溶液原料は、化学気相成長法又は液相成長法を用いることで基体上、例えばシリコン基板上にバナジウム含有薄膜を形成する。
【0015】
次に、有機バナジウム化合物を用いたバナジウム含有薄膜の形成方法をMOCVD法を用いて窒化バナジウム薄膜を形成する方法を例にとって説明する。
図1に示すように、MOCVD装置は、成膜室10と蒸気発生装置11を備える。成膜室10の内部にはヒータ12が設けられ、ヒータ12上には基板13が保持される。この成膜室10の内部は圧力センサー14、コールドトラップ15及びニードルバルブ16を備える配管17により真空引きされる。成膜室10にはニードルバルブ36、ガス流量調節装置34を介してNHガス導入管37が接続される。ここで形成される薄膜がSiO薄膜のような酸素を含有する薄膜である場合、ガス導入管37からはOガスが導入される。蒸気発生装置11には、本発明の有機バナジウム化合物又は溶液原料を原料として貯留する原料容器18が備えられる。原料容器18にはガス流量調節装置19を介して加圧用不活性ガス導入管21が接続され、また原料容器18には供給管22が接続される。供給管22にはニードルバルブ23及び流量調節装置24が設けられ、供給管22は気化室26に接続される。気化室26にはニードルバルブ31、ガス流量調節装置28を介してキャリアガス導入管29が接続される。気化室26は更に配管27により成膜室10に接続される。また気化室26には、ガスドレイン32及びドレイン33がそれぞれ接続される。
この装置では、加圧用不活性ガスが導入管21から原料容器18内に導入され、原料容器18に貯蔵されている原料液を供給管22により気化室26に搬送する。気化室26で気化されて蒸気となった有機バナジウム化合物は、更にキャリアガス導入管29から気化室26へ導入されたキャリアガスにより配管27を経て成膜室10内に供給される。成膜室10内において、有機バナジウム化合物の蒸気を熱分解させ、NHガス導入管37より導入されたNHガスと反応させることにより、生成した窒化バナジウムを加熱された基板13上に堆積させて窒化バナジウム薄膜を形成する。加圧用不活性ガス、キャリアガスには、アルゴン、ヘリウム、窒素等が挙げられる。反応ガスとしてNHガスを挙げたが、このNHガスの代わりにH及びNHの混合ガスやヒドラジン等の窒素含有化合物、低沸点アルキルアミン、低沸点水素化アミノ化合物でもよい。このH及びNHをそれぞれ含む混合ガスは、NHガス100%に対してHガスを1%〜30%の割合で混合するのが好ましい。また、最初にHガスを成膜室内に供給して基板表面を修飾した後に、NHガスを供給してもよい。
このように気化安定性に優れ、高い成膜速度を有する本発明の有機バナジウム化合物を用いて成膜すると、従来の窒化バナジウムよりも低温での気相成長が可能であり、得られたバナジウム含有薄膜は、良好な段差被覆性を有する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is formed by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (hereinafter, referred to as MOCVD method) or liquid phase growth method, and is used as a barrier film for semiconductor devices or an oxide film for ferroelectrics. The present invention relates to an organic vanadium compound suitable as a raw material for a useful vanadium-containing thin film, a solution raw material containing the compound, and a method for forming a vanadium-containing thin film.

[Prior art]
Conventionally, Al and Al alloys have been used as wiring materials for semiconductor integrated circuits, but copper wiring with low resistance and high permissible current density has been developed with the increase in speed, integration, miniaturization, and complexity of integrated circuits. It is moving to. Usually, copper easily diffuses into silicon. Therefore, when copper wiring is performed, a barrier film is formed between silicon and copper to prevent this diffusion. Nitrides such as tantalum, niobium, titanium, and zirconium are used as the material for the barrier film.
However, as the integration and complexity increase, the contact hole diameter and groove width become finer than the interlayer insulation film and wiring insulation film, and the aspect ratio of the diameter and groove increases. It is difficult to embed a wiring material or the like in the contact hole. When a barrier film is formed in a groove portion having a large aspect ratio, the barrier film is locally deposited on the groove portion, and the thickness of the barrier film becomes nonuniform. When copper is plated on the non-uniform barrier film to form wiring, voids are formed in the wiring. When voids are formed in this way, defective wiring such as poor electrical connection, high resistance, and reduced electromigration resistance occurs in the contact plug.
[0003]

M in this general formula is a metal selected from tantalum, vanadium, niobium, and hafnium, and R is an organic group containing Si. Examples of the metal film formed by the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 include vanadium, tantalum, niobium, hafnium, vanadium silicide, tantalum silicide, niobium silicide, hafnium silicide, and the like, and metal nitride films.

In Patent Document 1, the general formula (Cp (R) n ) x MH y-x By using the precursor shown in Figure 2 for chemical vapor deposition and forming a metal or metal nitride on the substrate at a pressure below atmospheric pressure, the generation of voids and device defects that occurred during deposition on the substrate can be suppressed. A uniform film can be formed.
[0004]
On the other hand, DRAM, which is the mainstream of rewritable memory, is a volatile memory, and it is necessary to flow a current periodically for storage, and a large power consumption is a problem from the environmental viewpoint. Therefore, a ferroelectric memory such as FeRAM, which is nonvolatile and can hold a memory for a long time, consumes less power, and is compatible with DRAM, has attracted attention. In addition to the above features, ferroelectric memory has various advantages such as low write voltage, high-speed writing, high number of rewrites, bit rewritable, and random access. It has been.
A ferroelectric memory uses a ferroelectric thin film as a storage capacitor material of a DRAM, and uses this polarization hysteresis phenomenon to give this thin film a memory function. Ferroelectric thin film materials have large spontaneous polarization, PZT, and excellent ferroelectricity and fatigue-free properties (Bi, La) 4 Ti 3 O 12 A composite oxide material such as (hereinafter referred to as BLT) is used. Of these, part of the BLT Ti site was replaced with V (Bi, La) 4 (Ti, V) 3 O 12 (Hereinafter referred to as BLTV) reported that good characteristics were obtained by film formation at a temperature lower than that of BLT.
As a method for forming a BLTV thin film, a Bi raw material, a La raw material, a Ti raw material, etc., and a vanadium triethoxide oxide (hereinafter referred to as VO (OEt)) 3 That's it. Good results have been obtained by introducing the vapor of the V source as in (2) into the film forming chamber independently by the carrier gas. However, in a method in which a plurality of raw material compounds are dissolved in one organic solvent, and the solution is flash-evaporated and supplied to the film forming chamber, lanthanum tris (dipivaloylmethanate) (hereinafter referred to as La) used as the La raw material. (Dpm) 3 That's it. 3 However, such alkoxides have a problem in that they easily cause a ligand exchange reaction.
[0005]
As a measure for solving this problem, it has been proposed to use vanadium tris (β-diketonate) as a raw material for the production of a vanadium-containing oxide thin film by MOCVD (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In Patent Document 2 described above, if a raw material solution using vanadium tris (β-diketonate) is used as a three-component solution containing La, Ti, and V for forming a BLTV film by solution flash CVD, the pot life is long. Has an effect. In addition, since the three components can be made into one solution, the composition control becomes easy and it is effective for mass production of BLTV films.
Similarly, a method for producing high-purity vanadium tris (β-diketonate) suitable as a V raw material for MOCVD has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 3). In Patent Document 3, vanadium trichloride, β-diketone and ammonia are reacted in an organic solvent, by-product ammonium chloride is separated by filtration, the solvent and unreacted raw material are distilled off, and vacuum distillation or sublimation recovery is performed. High-purity vanadium tris (β-diketonate) having 5 ppm or less of each metal element impurity is obtained.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the general formula of Patent Document 1 is (Cp (R) n ) x MH y-x The organic group R in the organometallic precursor represented by is composed of an alkylsilyl functional group having at least one carbon-Si bond. This carbon-Si bond is strong and difficult to decompose. Moreover, since it has the structure where the electron inside a precursor flows into a V metal atom, stability is high and thermal decomposition is not easy. When a film is formed using this precursor, radical species are generated when the precursor receives thermal electrons and is given energy, and this radical species is mainly an active species obtained by cleaving H, so that the reactivity is extremely high. Similarly, simultaneous reaction with the generated active species occurs, resulting in an oligomerization form such as trimer or tetramer, and the oligomer receives thermal electrons to newly form radical species that contribute to the substrate for film formation. Become. The active species generated in this way have a relatively high interaction with the substrate, but V metal atoms are not suitable as a film forming material because the atomic distance to the substrate is not close. Further, since this precursor has a large molecule, the interaction is large, and there is a tendency that the adhesion probability is high and the covering property is deteriorated.
In addition, vanadium tris (β-diketonate) shown in Patent Documents 2 and 3, respectively, has poor thermal stability, high decomposition temperature, slow deposition rate, poor step coverage of the deposited film, etc. There is a problem and it is not suitable as a film forming raw material.

An object of the present invention is to provide an organic vanadium compound having excellent vaporization stability and a high film formation rate, and a solution raw material containing the compound.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a vanadium-containing thin film having good step coverage.

Next, a method for forming a vanadium-containing thin film using an organic vanadium compound will be described by taking as an example a method for forming a vanadium nitride thin film using MOCVD.
As shown in FIG. 1, the MOCVD apparatus includes a film formation chamber 10 and a vapor generator 11. A heater 12 is provided inside the film forming chamber 10, and a substrate 13 is held on the heater 12. The inside of the film forming chamber 10 is evacuated by a pipe 17 including a pressure sensor 14, a cold trap 15 and a needle valve 16. The film forming chamber 10 is provided with NH via a needle valve 36 and a gas flow rate adjusting device 34. 3 A gas introduction pipe 37 is connected. The thin film formed here is SiO 2 In the case of a thin film containing oxygen, such as a thin film, the gas introduction pipe 37 is filled with O 2 Gas is introduced. The steam generator 11 is provided with a raw material container 18 for storing the organic vanadium compound or the solution raw material of the present invention as a raw material. A pressurizing inert gas introduction pipe 21 is connected to the raw material container 18 via a gas flow rate control device 19, and a supply pipe 22 is connected to the raw material container 18. The supply pipe 22 is provided with a needle valve 23 and a flow rate adjusting device 24, and the supply pipe 22 is connected to the vaporization chamber 26. A carrier gas introduction pipe 29 is connected to the vaporizing chamber 26 via a needle valve 31 and a gas flow rate adjusting device 28. The vaporizing chamber 26 is further connected to the film forming chamber 10 by a pipe 27. A gas drain 32 and a drain 33 are connected to the vaporizing chamber 26, respectively.
In this apparatus, an inert gas for pressurization is introduced into the raw material container 18 from the introduction pipe 21, and the raw material liquid stored in the raw material container 18 is conveyed to the vaporization chamber 26 through the supply pipe 22. The organic vanadium compound that has been vaporized in the vaporizing chamber 26 to become vapor is further supplied into the film forming chamber 10 through the pipe 27 by the carrier gas introduced into the vaporizing chamber 26 from the carrier gas introduction pipe 29. In the film forming chamber 10, the vapor of the organic vanadium compound is thermally decomposed, and NH 3 NH introduced from the gas introduction pipe 37 3 By reacting with the gas, the generated vanadium nitride is deposited on the heated substrate 13 to form a vanadium nitride thin film. Examples of the inert gas for pressurization and the carrier gas include argon, helium, and nitrogen. NH as reaction gas 3 I mentioned gas, but this NH 3 H instead of gas 2 And NH 3 Or a nitrogen-containing compound such as hydrazine, a low-boiling alkylamine, or a low-boiling hydrogenated amino compound. This H 2 And NH 3 The mixed gas containing 3 H for 100% gas 2 It is preferable to mix the gas at a ratio of 1% to 30%. First, H 2 After the gas is supplied into the film formation chamber to modify the substrate surface, NH 3 Gas may be supplied.
Thus, when the film is formed using the organic vanadium compound of the present invention having excellent vaporization stability and a high film forming speed, vapor phase growth at a lower temperature than conventional vanadium nitride is possible, and the obtained vanadium-containing material is obtained. The thin film has good step coverage.

<Comparison test 1>
The following tests were conducted using the organic vanadium compounds obtained in Examples 1 to 24 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7, respectively.
First, the surface of the substrate is 5000 mm thick SiO 2 Five Si substrates each having a film formed thereon were prepared, and the substrates were placed in the film formation chamber of the MOCVD apparatus shown in FIG. Next, the substrate temperature was set to 250 ° C., the vaporization temperature was set to 100 ° C., and the pressure was set to about 266 Pa (2 torr). NH as reaction gas 3 Gas was used and its partial pressure was 500 ccm. Next, when He gas is used as the carrier gas and the organic vanadium compound is supplied at a rate of 0.05 cc / min, and the film formation time becomes 1, 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes, respectively. Each one was taken out from the film formation chamber, and the film thickness of the vanadium nitride thin film on the substrate after film formation was measured from a cross-sectional SEM (scanning electron microscope) image. Further, the step coverage of the vanadium nitride thin film with a film formation time of 10 minutes was also measured. The step coverage is expressed by the numerical value a / b when the thin film 42 is formed on the substrate 41 having a step such as a groove shown in FIG. If a / b is 1.0, it can be said that the step coverage is good because the film is uniformly formed to the depth of the groove as in the flat portion of the substrate. On the contrary, if a / b is a numerical value less than 1.0, it is difficult to form a film to the depth of the groove, and the step coverage is poor. Tables 1 and 2 show the results of film thickness and step coverage obtained per film formation time, respectively.

[0029]
As is apparent from Tables 1 and 2, the thin films obtained using the organic vanadium compounds of Comparative Examples 1 to 7 do not increase in thickness even with time, and the stability of the film formation is poor. . In addition, the step coverage is also very bad. When the barrier film is formed on the substrate having the groove portion using the organic vanadium compounds of Comparative Examples 1 to 7, there is a possibility that a void is generated. On the other hand, the thin films obtained using the organic vanadium compounds of Examples 1 to 24 have a very high film forming speed and the film forming time as compared with the case of using the organic vanadium compounds of Comparative Examples 1 to 7. As a result, the film thickness was uniform and the film formation stability was high. Further, the step coverage was also a value close to 1.0, and it was found that the film was formed uniformly to the depth of the groove in the same manner as the flat portion of the substrate.
