Abstract

Recently, aluminum (Al) selective chemical vapour deposition (CVD) on the silicon (Si) surface has received much attention as promising technology for ULSI metallization. The key issue is using a dimethyl aluminum hydride (DMA1H) over the Si surface terminated by hydrogen (H). In this quantum chemical study, we discuss the reaction mechanism. The reaction of AlAl bond formation occurs prior to AlSi bond formation. The methyl group has an effect which suppresses the reactivity between Al and Si. Moreover, H 2 carrier gas increases the reactivity. These results are qualitatively in agreement with the experimental observations.
