Volatile Products from Ligand Addition of P(CH3)3to NiCl2, PdCl2,and PtCl2: Pathway for Metal Thermal Atomic Layer Etching

Ann Lii-Rosales et al.

Summary: NiCl2, PdCl2, and PtCl2 can form stable and volatile complexes by adding the ligand P(Me)3. In these ligand-addition reactions, MCl2(P(Me)3)2 is the most common product. In situ QMS studies confirmed the formation of volatile metal complexes after exposing the metal chlorides to P(Me)3. Thermochemical calculations also showed that adding P(Me)3 to MCl2 and MCl2(P(Me)3) is favorable. These findings suggest that thermal atomic layer etching of Ni, Pd, and Pt may be possible based on sequential chlorination and ligand-exchange reactions.

Etch characteristics of magnetic tunnel junction materials using H2/NH3 reactive ion beam

Ju Eun Kim et al.

Summary: In this study, the etching of MTJ materials using a mixture of H-2 and NH3 in a RIBE system showed higher etch rates and selectivities compared to etching with pure H-2 or NH3. No significant damages were observed on the etched magnetic materials surfaces, and the technique is believed to be suitable for the etching of MTJ materials for future generation STT-MRAM devices.

Thermal Atomic Layer Etching of Nickel Using Sequential Chlorination and Ligand-Addition Reactions

Jessica A. Murdzek et al.

Summary: Thermal atomic layer etching (ALE) of nickel was demonstrated by sequential chlorination and ligand-addition reactions using SO2Cl2 and PMe3. Inspired by the covalent bond classification (CBC) method, surface reactions during thermal Ni ALE formed NiX2L2 products. Etch rates of nickel varied at different temperatures, confirming the success of the ALE process.

Thermal atomic layer etching of germanium-rich SiGe using an oxidation and conversion-etch mechanism

Aziz I. Abdulagatov et al.

Summary: Thermal atomic layer etching (ALE) of germanium-rich SiGe was demonstrated using different reactants and conditions to control the etch rate and selectivity of the SiGe film at different temperatures, pressures, and doses. It was found that at 290 degrees C, the SiGe film could be selectively etched without surface roughening, providing a useful method for fabricating Si nanowires and nanosheets using SiGe as a sacrificial layer.

Cobalt Metal ALD: Understanding the Mechanism and Role of Zinc Alkyl Precursors as Reductants for Low-Resistivity Co Thin Films

David Zanders et al.

Summary: This work introduces a new approach for the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of metallic Co thin films, utilizing a thermal ALD process with CoCl2(TMEDA) precursor and Zn aminoalkyl compound as reducing agent. The research investigates the precursors' saturation behavior, film growth characteristics, and proposes reaction steps leading to pure Co film formation, confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Thorough analysis of the Co thin films obtained from the process reveals the coexistence of carbon species in the film bulk, with promising resistivity values without postgrowth treatment.

Spontaneous Etching of Metal Fluorides Using Ligand-Exchange Reactions: Landscape Revealed by Mass Spectrometry

Ann Lii-Rosales et al.

Summary: Thermal atomic layer etching (ALE) involves sequential reactions based on surface modification and volatile release, utilizing fluorination for modification and ligand-exchange with metal fluorides for release. A new reactor with in situ quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS) was used to study the reactions. Different behaviors were observed at varying temperatures during the ligand-exchange reactions between precursors and metal fluoride powders, providing insight into the process of thermal ALE.
