Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電気的又は光学的性質により各種デバイスへの応用が期待されるBLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜と、それを形成するための組成物及び形成方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
チタン酸ビスマス及びそれにランタンをドープした金属酸化物(BLT:(BixLay)4Ti3O12)はその高い誘電率、優れた強誘電特性から種々のキャパシタや不揮発性メモリ等のデバイスへの応用が期待されている。これらの金属酸化物薄膜の成膜法としては、スパッタリング法、MOCVD法などがあるが、比較的安価で簡便に薄膜を作製する手法として、有機金属溶液を基板に塗布するゾルゲル法がある。
【0003】
ゾルゲル法は、原料となる各成分金属の加水分解性の化合物、その部分加水分解物及び/又はその部分重縮合物を含有する原料溶液を基板に塗布し、塗膜を乾燥させた後、例えば空気中で約400℃に加熱して金属酸化物の膜を形成し、さらにその金属酸化物の結晶化温度以上で焼成して膜を結晶化させることにより強誘電体薄膜を成膜する方法である。
【0004】
このゾルゲル法に似た方法として、有機金属分解(MOD)法がある。MOD法では、熱分解性の有機金属化合物、例えば、金属のβ−ジケトン錯体(例えば、金属アセチルアセトネート)やカルボン酸塩(例えば、酢酸塩)を含有する原料溶液を基板に塗布し、例えば空気中又は含酸素雰囲気中等で加熱して、塗膜中の溶媒の蒸発及び金属化合物の熱分解を生じさせて金属酸化物の膜を形成し、さらに結晶化温度以上で焼成して膜を結晶化させる。従って、原料化合物の種類が異なるだけで、成膜操作はゾルゲル法とほぼ同様である。
【0005】
このようにゾルゲル法とMOD法は成膜操作が同じであるので、両者を併用した方法も可能である。即ち、原料溶液が加水分解性の金属化合物と熱分解性の金属化合物の両方を含有していてもよく、その場合には塗膜の加熱中に原料化合物の加水分解と熱分解が起こり、金属酸化物が生成する。
【0006】
これらのゾルゲル法、MOD法、及びこれらを併用した方法等はCSD法(Chemical
Solution Deposition)と称されている。
【0007】
このCSD法は、安価かつ簡便で量産に適しているという利点に加えて、膜の組成制御が容易で、成膜厚みが比較的均一であるという優れた特長を有する。従って、比較的平坦な基板上に強誘電体薄膜を形成するのに有利な成膜法である。
【0008】
なお、従来のCSD法では、原料溶液を基板に塗布して乾燥させた後仮焼し、所望の膜厚が得られるまでこの塗布、乾燥及び仮焼を繰り返し行い、最後の金属酸化物の結晶化温度以上の温度で焼成して結晶化させることにより成膜が行われている。
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
CSD法による強誘電体薄膜の形成には、結晶化のために焼成を行う必要がある。
【0010】
一方、このような強誘電体薄膜を利用したメモリにおいては、デバイスチップの小型化に伴い、加熱処理によるデバイスのトランジスタ及びその周辺回路等への悪影響が問題視されるようになってきており、金属酸化物薄膜形成時の結晶化温度を低減させることが望まれている。また、基板上のアルミニウム配線の酸化を防止するためにも、結晶化温度の低減が期待されている。
【0011】
強誘電体メモリ以外の用途においても、成膜時の結晶化温度を低減することは、従来の結晶化温度では成膜が困難であったガラス基板等への成膜を可能とし、強誘電体や圧電体、集電体等の応用範囲の拡大を図ることが期待されることから、結晶化温度の低減が強く望まれている。
【0012】
本発明は、BLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜を形成するに当り、550℃以下の低温でも結晶化を行うことが可能な金属酸化物薄膜の形成用組成物、形成方法及びこの低温結晶化方法で形成された強誘電体薄膜を提供することを目的とする。
【0013】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明(請求項1)のBLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜形成用組成物は、BLT強誘電体薄膜を形成するための有機金属化合物溶液よりなる強誘電体薄膜形成用組成物において、一般式:(BixLay)4Ti3O12(式中、0<x<1.3、0≦y<1)で示される複合金属化合物Aと、Bi、Si、Pb、Ge、Sn、Al、Ga、In、Mg、Ca、Sr、Ba、V、Nb、Ta、Sc、Y、Ti、Zr、Hf、Cr、Mn、Fe、Co、Ni、Zn、Cd、Li、Na及びKのうちから選ばれる1種の元素から構成される金属酸化物Bの混合金属酸化物の薄膜を形成するための液状組成物であって、該金属酸化物を構成する各金属の熱分解性有機金属化合物、加水分解性有機金属化合物、その部分加水分解物及び/又は重縮合物が、上式で示される金属原子比を与えるような割合で有機溶剤中に溶解している溶液からなり、形成されるBLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜の結晶化温度が580℃以下であることを特徴とするものである。
【0014】
本発明者らは、強誘電体薄膜の結晶化温度を低下させるべく種々研究を重ねた結果、Bi、Si、Pb、Ge、Sn、Al、Ga、In、Mg、Ca、Sr、Ba、V、Nb、Ta、Sc、Y、Ti、Zr、Hf、Cr、Mn、Fe、Co、Ni、Zn、Cd、Li、Na及びKの群からなる1種あるいは2種以上の元素をBLT又はBTに添加することで、純粋なBLT又はBTに比べ低温で結晶化し、また膜のモフォロジーが良くなるという知見が得られた。
【0015】
本発明の組成物は、かかる知見に基づいて創案されたものである。なお、BとAとのモル比B/Aは0<B/A<100が好ましい。このBが少量混合された状態でドーパントとしてのBの効果が現れ始めるが、Bの量が増えるに従い結晶化温度、更にはモフォロジーの改善効果が現れるようになる。但し、B/Aがあまりに大きくなりすぎると、A自体の特性が希釈され残留分極性Prが弱くなってくるため、用途によって最適B/Aの量は変わる。一般的な最適範囲としては、0<B/A<20が好ましく、更には0.1<B/A<20、更には0.2<B/A<20、最も好ましくは0.4<B/A<20である。
【0016】
本発明(請求項4)のBLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜形成用組成物は、BLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜を形成するための有機金属化合物溶液よりなる強誘電体薄膜形成用組成物において、一般式:(BixLay)4Ti3O12(式中、0<x<1.3、0≦y<1)で示される複合金属化合物Aと、(Biα,La1−α)2SiO5 (式中、0≦α≦1)で示される複合金属酸化物Bの混合複合金属酸化物(ただし、BとAとのモル比B/Aは0<B/A<5)の薄膜を形成するための液状組成物であって、該金属酸化物を構成する各金属の熱分解性有機金属化合物、加水分解性有機金属化合物、その部分加水分解物及び/又は重縮合物が、上式で示される金属原子比を与えるような割合で有機溶剤中に溶解している溶液からなることを特徴とするものである。
【0017】
本発明(請求項5)のBLT強誘電体薄膜形成用組成物は、BLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜を形成するための有機金属化合物溶液よりなる強誘電体薄膜形成用組成物において、一般式:(BixLay)4Ti3O12(式中、0<x<1.3、0≦y<1)で示される複合金属化合物Aと、(Biβ,La1−α)2SiO5 (式中、0≦α≦1、α<β<1.3α)で示される複合金属酸化物Bの混合複合金属酸化物(ただし、BとAとのモル比B/Aは0<B/A<5)の薄膜を形成するための液状組成物であって、該金属酸化物を構成する各金属の熱分解性有機金属化合物、加水分解性有機金属化合物、その部分加水分解物及び/又は重縮合物が、上式で示される金属原子比を与えるような割合で有機溶剤中に溶解している溶液からなることを特徴とするものである。
【0018】
本発明者は、上記の複合酸化物Bについてさらに検討を重ねたところ、(Biα,La1−α)2SiO5又は(Biβ,La1−α)2SiO5が極めて好適であることが見出された。ただし、α<β<1.3αである。複合酸化物としてかかるBi−La−Si系複合酸化物を用いると、BLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜がより低温で結晶化する。
【0019】
本発明の強誘電体薄膜の形成方法は、この強誘電体薄膜形成用組成物を耐熱性基板に塗布し、空気中、酸化雰囲気中又は含水蒸気雰囲気中で加熱する工程を1回又は所望の厚さの膜が得られるまで繰り返し、少なくとも最終工程における加熱中或いは加熱後に該膜を結晶化温度以上で焼成することを特徴とするものである。
【0020】
本発明の強誘電体薄膜は、この方法によって形成されたものである。
【0021】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の実施の形態を詳細に説明する。
【0022】
本発明で用いる有機金属化合物原料は、有機基が、複合金属化合物A用のBi,La及びTi並びに金属化合物B用のBi、Si、Pb、Ge、Sn、Al、Ga、In、Mg、Ca、Sr、Ba、V、Nb、Ta、Sc、Y、Ti、Zr、Hf、Cr、Mn、Fe、Co、Ni、Zn、Cd、Li、Na及びKの各金属に酸素又は窒素原子を介して結合しているものが好適であり、例えば金属アルコキシド、金属ジオール錯体、金属トリオール錯体、金属カルボン酸塩、金属β−ジケトネート錯体、金属β−ジケトエステル錯体、金属β−イミノケト錯体、及び金属アミノ錯体よりなる群から選ばれる1種又は2種以上が例示される。特に好適な化合物は、金属アルコキシド、その部分加水分解物及び/又は有機酸塩(例えば酢酸塩)である。アルコキシドとしては、メトキシド、エトキシド、イソプロポキシド、ブトキシド、ジメトキシジイソプロポキシド等のアルコキシドが挙げられる。金属アルコキシドはそのまま使用してもよいが、分解を促進させるためにその部分加水分解物を使用してもよい。
【0023】
本発明のBLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜形成用組成物を調製するには、これらの原料有機金属化合物を、所望のBLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜組成に相当する比率で適当な溶媒に溶解して、塗布に適した濃度に調製する。
【0024】
ここで用いるBLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜形成用組成物の溶媒は、原料有機金属化合物に応じて適宜決定されるが、一般的には、カルボン酸、アルコール、エステル、ケトン類(例えば、アセトン、メチルエチルケトン)、エーテル類(例えば、ジメチルエーテル、ジエチルエーテル)、シクロアルカン類(例えば、シクロヘキサン、シクロヘキサノール)、芳香族系(例えば、ベンゼン、トルエン、キシレン)、その他テトラヒドロフラン等、或いはこれらの2種以上の混合溶媒を用いることができる。
【0025】
複合酸化物Bが(Biα,La1−α)2SiO5又は(Biβ,La1−α)2SiO5である場合、溶媒はモノアルコール及びジオールの混合溶媒を含むか、又はこの混合溶媒よりなることが好ましい。ジオールとしては、トリエチレングリコールが特に好ましいが、プロピレングリコールも好適である。
【0026】
カルボン酸としては、具体的には、n−酪酸、α−メチル酪酸、i−吉草酸、2−エチル酪酸、2,2−ジメチル酪酸、3,3−ジメチル酪酸、2,3−ジメチル酪酸、3−メチルペンタン酸、4−メチルペンタン酸、2−エチルペンタン酸、3−エチルペンタン酸、2,2−ジメチルペンタン酸、3,3−ジメチルペンタン酸、2,3−ジメチルペンタン酸、2−エチルヘキサン酸、3−エチルヘキサン酸を用いるのが好ましい。
【0027】
また、エステルとしては、酢酸エチル、酢酸プロピル、酢酸n−ブチル、酢酸sec−ブチル、酢酸tert−ブチル、酢酸イソブチル、酢酸n−アミル、酢酸sec−アミル、酢酸tert−アミル、酢酸イソアミルを用いるのが好ましく、アルコールとしては、1−プロパノール、2−プロパノール、1−ブタノール、2−ブタノール、イソ−ブチルアルコール、1−ペンタノール、2−ペンタノール、2−メチル−2−ペンタノール、2−メトキシエタノールを用いるのが好適である。
【0028】
なお、BLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜形成用組成物の有機金属化合物溶液中の有機金属化合物の合計濃度は、金属酸化物換算量で0.1〜20重量%程度とするのが好ましい。
【0029】
この有機金属化合物溶液中には、必要に応じて安定化剤として、β−ジケトン類(例えば、アセチルアセトン、ヘプタフルオロブタノイルピバロイルメタン、ジピバロイルメタン、トリフルオロアセチルアセトン、ベンゾイルアセトン等)、β−ケトン酸類(例えば、アセト酢酸、プロピオニル酢酸、ベンゾイル酢酸等)、β−ケトエステル類例えばこれらのケトン酸のメチル、プロピル、ブチル等の低級アルキルエステル類、オキシ酸類(例えば、乳酸、グリコール酸、α−オキシ酪酸、サリチル酸等)、これらのオキシ酸の低級アルキルエステル類、オキシケトン類(例えば、ジアセトンアルコール、アセトイン等)、ジオール、トリオール、高級カルボン酸、アルカノールアミン類(例えば、ジェタノールアミン、トリエタノールアミン、モノエタノールアミン)、多価アミン等を、(安定化剤分子数)/(金属原子数)で0.2〜3程度添加しても良い。
【0030】
本発明では、このようにして調製された有機金属化合物溶液を濾過処理するなどして、パーティクルを除去し、粒径0.5μm以上(特に0.3μm以上とりわけ0.2μm以上)のパーティクルの個数が溶液1mL当り50個/mL以下となるようにするのが好ましい。
【0031】
有機金属化合物溶液中の粒径0.5μm以上のパーティクルの個数が50個/mLを超えると、長期保存安定性が劣るものとなる。この有機金属化合物溶液中の粒径0.5μm以上のパーティクルの個数は少ない程好ましく、特に30個/mL以下であることが好ましい。
【0032】
このようなパーティクル個数となるように、調製後の有機金属化合物溶液を処理する方法としては特に制限はないが、具体的には次のような方法が挙げられる。
【0033】
(1) 市販の0.2μm孔径のメンブランフィルターを使用し、シリンジで圧送する濾過法。
(2) 市販の0.05μm孔径のメンブランフィルターと加圧タンクを組み合せた加圧濾過法。
(3) 上記(2)のフィルターと溶液循環槽を組み合せた循環濾過法。
【0034】
いずれの方法においても、溶液圧送圧力により、フィルターによるパーティクル捕捉率が異なる。圧力が低いほど捕捉率が高くなることは一般的に知られており、特に、(1),(2)について、パーティクル50個以下の条件を実現するためには、低圧で非常にゆっくりとフィルターに通すのが好ましい。
【0035】
このようなBLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜形成用組成物により、本発明の方法に従って、BLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜を形成するには、上述の本発明のBLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜形成用組成物をスピンコート、ディップコート、LSMCD(Liquid Source Misted Chemical Deposition)法等の塗布法により基板上に塗布し、乾燥(仮焼成)及び本焼成を行う。
【0036】
使用される基板の具体例としては、基板表層部に、単結晶Si、多結晶Si,Pt,Pt(最上層)/Ti,Pt(最上層)/Ta,Ru,RuO2,Ru(最上層)/RuO2,RuO2(最上層)/Ru,Ir,IrO2,Ir(最上層)/IrO2,Pt(最上層)/Ir,Pt(最上層)/IrO2,SrRuO3又は(LaxSr1−x)CoO3等のペロブスカイト型導電性酸化物等を用いた基板が挙げられるが、これらに限定されるものではない。
【0037】
なお、1回の塗布では、所望の膜厚が得られない場合には、塗布、乾燥の工程を複数回繰り返し行った後、本焼成を行う。
【0038】
ここで、仮焼成は、溶媒を除去すると共に有機金属化合物を熱分解又は加水分解して複合酸化物に転化させるために行うことから、空気中、酸化雰囲気中、又は含水蒸気雰囲気中で行う。空気中での加熱でも、加水分解に必要な水分は空気中の湿気により十分に確保される。この加熱は、溶媒の除去のための低温加熱と、有機金属化合物の分解のための高温加熱の2段階で実施しても良い。
【0039】
本焼成は、仮焼成で得られた薄膜を結晶化温度以上の温度で焼成して結晶化させるための工程であり、これによりBLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜が得られる。この結晶化工程の焼成雰囲気はO2、N2、Ar、N2O又はH2等あるいはこれらの混合ガス等が好適である。
【0040】
一般に、仮焼成は、150〜350℃で行われ、本焼成は530〜590℃で行われる。本発明では、本焼成温度が低くても薄膜を結晶化させることができる。
【0041】

以上の通り、本発明によると、BLT又はBT強誘電体薄膜の結晶化温度を低下させることができる薄膜形成用組成物と、薄膜形成方法と、この方法により形成された強誘電体薄膜とが提供される。[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is expected to be applied to various devices due to electrical or optical properties.Or BTThe present invention relates to a ferroelectric thin film, a composition for forming the same, and a forming method.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Bismuth titanate and metal oxide doped with lanthanum (BLT: (BixRay))4Ti3O12) Is expected to be applied to devices such as various capacitors and nonvolatile memories because of its high dielectric constant and excellent ferroelectric characteristics. As a method for forming these metal oxide thin films, there are a sputtering method, an MOCVD method, and the like. As a method for forming a thin film relatively inexpensively and simply, there is a sol-gel method in which an organic metal solution is applied to a substrate.
[0003]
In the sol-gel method, after a raw material solution containing a hydrolyzable compound of each component metal as a raw material, a partial hydrolyzate thereof and / or a partial polycondensate thereof is applied to a substrate and the coating film is dried, A method of forming a ferroelectric thin film by heating to about 400 ° C. in air to form a metal oxide film, and further firing the metal oxide at a crystallization temperature or higher to crystallize the film. is there.
[0004]
As a method similar to the sol-gel method, there is an organometallic decomposition (MOD) method. In the MOD method, a raw material solution containing a thermally decomposable organometallic compound, for example, a metal β-diketone complex (for example, metal acetylacetonate) or a carboxylate (for example, acetate) is applied to a substrate. Heating in air or in an oxygen-containing atmosphere causes evaporation of the solvent in the coating film and thermal decomposition of the metal compound to form a metal oxide film, which is further baked at a temperature higher than the crystallization temperature to crystallize the film. Make it. Accordingly, the film forming operation is almost the same as that of the sol-gel method, except that the raw material compounds are different.
[0005]
Thus, since the sol-gel method and the MOD method have the same film forming operation, a method using both of them is also possible. That is, the raw material solution may contain both a hydrolyzable metal compound and a thermally decomposable metal compound. In that case, hydrolysis and thermal decomposition of the raw material compound occur during heating of the coating film, and the metal An oxide is formed.
[0006]
These sol-gel methods, MOD methods, and methods using these in combination are the CSD method (Chemical
Solution Deposition).
[0007]
In addition to the advantages of being inexpensive, simple and suitable for mass production, the CSD method has the excellent features that the film composition can be easily controlled and the film thickness is relatively uniform. Therefore, this is a film forming method advantageous for forming a ferroelectric thin film on a relatively flat substrate.
[0008]
In the conventional CSD method, the raw material solution is applied to a substrate and dried, followed by calcination, and this coating, drying and calcination are repeated until a desired film thickness is obtained. Film formation is performed by baking and crystallizing at a temperature equal to or higher than the crystallization temperature.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Formation of a ferroelectric thin film by the CSD method requires firing for crystallization.
[0010]
On the other hand, in the memory using such a ferroelectric thin film, with the miniaturization of the device chip, adverse effects on the transistor of the device and its peripheral circuit due to the heat treatment are becoming a problem. It is desired to reduce the crystallization temperature when forming a metal oxide thin film. Also, a reduction in crystallization temperature is expected to prevent oxidation of aluminum wiring on the substrate.
[0011]
In applications other than ferroelectric memory, reducing the crystallization temperature during film formation enables film formation on glass substrates and the like, which were difficult to form at conventional crystallization temperatures. Reduction of the crystallization temperature is strongly desired since it is expected to expand the application range of piezoelectric materials, piezoelectric materials, current collectors, and the like.
[0012]
The present invention provides BLTOr BTComposition for forming a metal oxide thin film that can be crystallized even at a low temperature of 550 ° C. or less in forming a ferroelectric thin film, formation method, and ferroelectric thin film formed by this low temperature crystallization method The purpose is to provide.
