Description

Ruthenium complexes and process for producing ruthenium film
Technical field
The present invention relates to ruthenium complexes for use in preparing ruthenium films.
Background art
In the following (q5-2,4-dimethylpentadienyl) is abbreviated to DMPD, (115-2,4-dimethy1-1-oxapentadienyl) is abbreviated to DMOPD and (r15-3,5-dimethyl-1-oxa-pentadienyl) is abbreviated to 3,5-DMOPD.
The article "Low-Temperature Preparation of Metallic Ruthenium Films by MOVCD Using Bis(2,4-dimethylpentadienyl) ruthenium" Electrochemical and Solid-State Letters, 10 (6) D60-D62 (2007) describes the deposition of crystalline ruthenium films onto thermally oxidized Si substrates by MOCVD using the ruthenium complex Ru(DMPD)2. The complex was reported to have the following properties: melting point of 89 °C; vapor pressure of 0.1Torr @ 82 °C; decomposition temperature (DSC) of 210 °C.
The analogous complex Ru(DMOPD)2 is also known. The article "Bis[ri5-(2,4-dimethyl-1-oxapentadienyl)] ruthenium(II): the First Homoleptic Open Ruthenocenes with Non-hydrocarbon Ligands" J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 1991, 1427-1429 describes the preparation of this complex from RuC13. aq and 4-methylbut-3-en-2-one in absolute ethanol with reduction using zinc dust as reducing agent. The reaction produces a mixture of isomers in approximately 1:1 ratio. The complex Ru(DMOPD)2 does not appear to have been used previously as a precursor for producing ruthenium films.
Mixed ruthenium complexes which contain a single DMOPD ligand are also known.
The article "Half-Open Ruthenocenes Derived from [Ru(C5Me5)C1]4: Syntheses, Characterizations, and Solid-State Structures" Organometallics 1992, 11, 1686-1692 describes the complex Ru(C5Me5)(DMOPD). This complex was prepared by the reaction between [Ru(C5Me5)C1]4 and mesityl oxide in K2CO3/THF, as part of an isomeric mixture. These complexes were not investigated for use in ruthenium film production.
US8884044B2 describes complexes of formula Ru(DMPD)(P) where P is a chiral diphosphorus donor ligand. These complexes are described for use in catalytic hydrogenation but have not been investigated for use in ruthenium film production.
US9349601B2 describes ruthenium complexes with various general structures, including a family of formula (la) containing a substituted or unsubstituted Cp ligand and a DMOPD-type ligand. The examples include preparation of the complexes Ru(C5H5)(DMOPD) [Example 7], Ru(C5H4Me)(DMOPD) [Example 8], Ru(C5H4E0(DMOPD) [Examples 9, 12, 13], Ru(C5Me5)(DMOPD) [Example 11].
While Ru(DMPD)2 and Ru(DMOPD)2 are both known, only the former has previously been explored for producing ruthenium films. The absence of any discussion about using Ru(DMOPD)2 for film production may indicate that this complex is not suitable, perhaps due to its insufficient thermal stability.
A ruthenium complex used for producing ruthenium films should ideally satisfy some or all of the following criteria. Firstly, the complex should have a high vapour pressure. Secondly, the complex should be stable enough to be vaporised and transported onto a substrate, yet reactive enough to react with a reactant gas to produce a ruthenium film on the substrate. Thirdly, the complex should be simple to manufacture.
The present invention provides complexes which offer a balance of the above-mentioned requirements.
Description of the invention
In a first aspect the invention relates to complex of Formula (0: (Formula I) wherein IR2 and 54 are each independently selected from a Ci to C6 hydrocarbyl group; on the condition that the total number of carbon atoms within groups 52 and 54 combined is 2-7.
For the avoidance of doubt, as an example if 52 = R4 = Et then the total number of carbon atoms within groups R2 and R4 combined is 4.
In a second aspect the invention relates to a complex of Formula (ID: RS (Formula II) wherein 53 and 55 are each independently selected from a Ci to C6 hydrocarbyl group; on the condition that the total number of carbon atoms within groups R3 and R5 combined is 2-7.
Mixed complexes of Formula (I) or (II), containing a DMPD ligand and a second non-identical ligand described herein are expected to have stability in-between that of Ru(DMOPD) and Ru(DMOPD)2 and, therefore, suitable for film production.
The skilled person will appreciate that conformational isomers may be possible in complexes of Formula (I) or (II), particularly given known conformational isomers in the related complex Ru(DMOPD)2 (see J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 1991, 1427-1429). For the avoidance of doubt, Formula (I) and (II) are not intended to indicate a specific conformer and should be understood in their broadest sense.
The substituents R2 and R4 (in the case of Formula (0) or groups R3 and R5 (in the case of Formula (ID) are each independently selected from a Ci to Cs hydrocarbyl group. By "hydrocarbyl group" herein we mean a group that contains carbon and hydrogen atoms only. Each group may be saturated or unsaturated, preferably saturated. Preferred groups are Me, Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, n-Bu, i-Bu, sec-Bu, t-Bu, n-pentyl, cyclo-pentyl, n-hexyl.
It will be appreciated that the greater the number of carbon atoms within groups R2 and R4 (Formula (I)) or within groups R3 and R5 (Formula (II)), the less volatile the complex and the higher the temperature required to volatilise the complex. It is preferred that the volatilisation temperature is low in order to minimise the risk of prematurely decomposing the complex. It is therefore preferred that the total number of carbon atoms within groups R2 and R4 combined or within groups R3 and R5 combined is 2 to 6, preferably 2 to 5, preferably 2 to 4, preferably 2 to 3, most preferably 2.
A particularly preferred complex of Formula (I) is (q5-2,4-dimethylpentadienyl)(1-15-2,4-dimethyl1-oxa-pentadienyl) ruthenium (I I) "Ru(DMPD)(DMOPD)", i.e. where R2= R4= Me.
A particularly preferred complex of Formula (II) is (q5-2,4-dimethylpentadienyl)(q5-3,4-dimethy1-1-oxa-pentadienyl) ruthenium (II) "Ru(DMPD)(3,5-DMOPD" i.e. where R3= R5= Me.
In a third aspect the invention relates to a process for producing a ruthenium film by a chemical deposition method, wherein the ruthenium precursor is of Formula (I) or (II). Preferred methods include chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD).
In a fourth aspect the invention relates to a method for the preparation of a complex according to Formula (I) or (II), comprising the step of reacting together a (q5-2,4-dimethylpentadienyl)(CH3CN)3 ruthenium (II) salt and an a,(3-unsaturated carbonyl compound of formula R2C(=O)CH=CR4CH3 in the case of Formula (I) or of formula CH(=0)CR3=CHCH2R5 in the case of Formula (I I).
In a preferred embodiment the a,(3-unsaturated carbonyl compound is mesityl oxide.
In a preferred embodiment the a,(3-unsaturated carbonyl compound is 2-methyl-2-pentenal.
Suitable (n5-2,4-dimethylpentadienyl)(CH3CN)3 ruthenium (II) salts include perchlorate, tetrafluoroborate, hexafluorophosphate, triflate, bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imidate (bistriflimide), etc. A preferred salt is (q5-2,4-dimethylpentadienyl)(CH3CN)3 ruthenium (II) tetrafluoroborate.
Any suitable solvent may be used for the reaction. A preferred solvent is THF, preferably THF at -78 °C.
The reaction according to the fourth and fifth aspects of the invention is preferably carried out in the presence of a base. The base preferably contains an amine functionality. A preferred base is triethylamine.
Example
Ru(DMPD)(DMOPD) was prepared by the reaction between [Ru(DMPD)(CH3CN)3][BF4] and mesityl oxide. [Ru(DMPD)(CH3CN)3][BF4] in turn was prepared following a procedure adapted from US884044B2.
Preparation of (Ru(DMPD)(CH3CN)30F4] In an Argon glovebox, a 100 ml Schlenk flask was charged with 0.681 g Ru(DMPD)2 (2.34 mmol) followed by 31 mL anhydrous diethyl ether and stirring. Within 10 min, 0.32 mL HBF4-Et20 (2.33 mmol) were added dropwise causing precipitation of a pale-yellow solid. The mixture was filtered using an air-free filtration funnel attached to a 200 mL receiving Schlenk flask. The solid was briefly pumped on to remove ether, scraped out of the filtration funnel and weighed: 0.813 g. The solid was placed back into the 100 mL Schlenk flask and dissolved in 23 mL anhydrous acetonitrile. The solution was stirred briefly, and the flask was removed from the glovebox to remove volatiles by pumping on the stirred solution through a cold trap. A warm water bath was used. When pressure reached 0.27 mbar, the flask containing orange solid was isolated and brought back into the glovebox.
Preparation of pu(DMPD)(DMOPE)J Next day, dry THF (13 mL) was added to the remaining orange solid. The flask was removed from the glovebox and placed in a -78 °C bath. With stirring, mesityl oxide (distilled from 3A MS; 0.60 mL; 5.2 mmol) was added followed by triethylamine (distilled from 3A MS; 0.45 mL, 3.27 mmol). After 10 min, the flask was removed from the cold bath and placed in a heating block, which was heated to 40 °C over 1 h. This block temperature was maintained for 3 h. After cooling to ambient temperature, volatiles were removed by pumping on the stirred solution through a cold trap. A warm water bath was used. When pressure reached to 0.18 mbar, the flask was isolated and brought into the glove box. Next day, the residue was extracted with 20 mL anhydrous hexane followed by filtration using an air-free filtration funnel attached to a 200 mL receiving Schlenk flask. The flask was removed from the glovebox to remove volatiles by pumping on the stirred solution through a cold trap. A warm water bath was used. When pressure reached 0.14 mbar, the flask was isolated and brought into the glovebox. The crude product was purified by vacuum sublimation @45 °C / 0.1 mbar. The cold finger was water-cooled. At the end of sublimation, yellow crystals were observed on the cold finger. The sublimation apparatus the flask was isolated and brought in the glove box, where most of the yellow solid was scraped off the cold finger into a pre-weighed vial. Mass: 0.0654 g. Yield: 10%.
The complex Ru(DMPD)(DMOPD) is a low melting solid with a melting point of -70 °C, and volatilises without decomposition below 220 °C.
