Interfacial Studies of Bimetallic Corrosion in Copper/Ruthenium Systems and Silicon Surface Modification with Organic and Organometallic Chemistry

Nalla, Praveen Reddy 08 1900 (has links)
To form Cu interconnects, dual-damascene techniques like chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) and post-CMP became inevitable for removing the "overburden" Cu and for planarizing the wafer surface. During the CMP processing, Cu interconnects and barrier metal layers experience different electrochemical interactions depending on the slurry composition, pH, and ohmic contact with adjacent metal layers that would set corrosion process. Ruthenium as a replacement of existing diffusion barrier layer will require extensive investigation to eliminate or control the corrosion process during CMP and post CMP. Bimetallic corrosion process was investigated in the ammonium citrate (a complexing agent of Cu in CMP solutions) using micro test patterns and potentiodynamic measurements. The enhanced bimetallic corrosion of copper observed is due to noble behavior of the ruthenium metal. Cu formed Cu(II)-amine and Cu(II)-citrate complexes in alkaline and acidic solutions and a corrosion mechanism has been proposed. The currently used metallization process (PVD, CVD and ALD) require ultra-high vacuum and are expensive. A novel method of Si surface metallization process is discussed that can be achieved at room temperature and does not require ultra-high vacuum. Ruthenation of Si surface through strong Si-Ru covalent bond formation is demonstrated using different ruthenium carbonyl compounds. RBS analysis accounted for monolayer to sub-monolayer coverage of Si surface. Interaction of other metal carbonyl (like Fe, Re, and Rh) is also discussed. The silicon (111) surface modifications with vinyl terminated organic compounds were investigated to form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and there after these surfaces were further functionalized. Acrylonitrile and vinylbenzophenone were employed for these studies. Ketone group of vinylbenzophenone anchored to Si surface demonstrated reactivity with reducing and oxidizing agents.

Ruthenium Complexes Of Chiral And Achiral Phosphorus Ligands Based On The P-N-P Motif

Venkatakrishnan, T S 06 1900 (has links)
In recent years there is an increasing awareness of the importance of chiral phosphorus ligands in transition metal organometallic chemistry because of the utility of such complexes in homogeneous catalytic reactions. This thesis deals with synthetic, spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic studies on ruthenium complexes of chiral and achiral P-N-P type ligands, known as "diphosphazanes", with emphasis on ruthenium carbonyl clusters. Several ruthenium carbonyl clusters have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, ER and NMR (lH, nC and 3lP) spectroscopic data. In several instances, the molecular structures of the clusters have been confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of various types of chiral phosphorus ligands and general synthetic routes to diphosphazanes. A brief review of the transition metal chemistry of diphosphazanes and diphosphazane chalcogenides (published since 1994) is presented A review of the literature on the carbonyl clusters of the group-8 transition metals (Fe, Ru, Os) bearing mono- and diphosphines is also included in this chapter The scope and aim of the present investigation is outlined at the end of this chapter. Chapter 2 provides the results obtained in the present investigation and a detailed discussion of the spectroscopic and crystallographic data. The essential feature of the work is summarized at the end of the chapter. Chapter 3 gives a detailed account of the experimental procedure for the synthesis of the compounds and spectroscopic and analytical measurements. The experimental details of X-ray structure determination are also given in this chapter. To save space, the coordinates of the H-atoms and the calculated and observed structure factor tables are not included. In some cases, reference to CCDC deposition number is included. The references of the literature are compiled at the end of the thesis and are indicated in the text by appropriate numbers appearing as superscripts. The compounds synthesized in the present study are represented by bold Arabic numerals and are listed in Appendix I. The abbreviations employed in the thesis conform to those generally used in Chemical Abstracts.
