Abstract:
The present invention provides a metal alkoxide compound having physical properties suitable for a material for forming thin films by CVD, and particularly, a metal alkoxide compound having physical properties suitable for a material for forming metallic-copper thin films. Specifically, the present invention provides a metal alkoxide compound represented by general formula (I), and a thin-film-forming material including the metal alkoxide compound. (In the formula, R 1 represents a methyl group or an ethyl group, R 2 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R 3 represents a C 1-3 linear or branched alkyl group, M represents a metal atom or a silicon atom, and n represents the valence of the metal atom or silicon atom.
Abstract:
The present process for removing residual water molecules is suitably used in a metallic thin film production method of forming a metallic thin film on a substrate. The residual-water-molecule removal process involves removing residual water molecules using a gas generated by vaporizing a purge solvent. Preferably, the purge solvent is an organic solvent or an organic solvent composition having a water content at the azeotropic composition of at least 20% by mass. With the present residual-water-molecule removal process, water molecules remaining in the system can be removed efficiently in the production of metallic thin films by the ALD method or the like, and thus, the film-formation time can be shortened and metallic thin films can be produced efficiently.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a material for forming a thin film suitable for forming an aluminum nitride-based thin film by a chemical vapor deposition method and a method for producing the thin film excellent in productivity and capable of safely producing the good-quality aluminum nitride-based thin film.SOLUTION: A material for forming an aluminum nitride-based thin film contains an aluminum compound represented by chemical formula (I). In a method for producing the thin film, vapor containing the aluminum compound is obtained by evaporating the material for forming the thin film, the vapor is introduced into a deposition chamber in which a substrate is placed, and the aluminum nitride-based thin film is formed on the surface of the substrate by the degradation and/or chemical reaction of the aluminum compound.
