| Hf(thd)₃ / TEPA-based ALD precursor blends | Highly Recommended – Demonstrated stability >72 h at 25 °C with no precipitate formation |
| DMSO and PGMEA solvent systems for resist additive formulation | Recommended – Fully miscible; requires nitrogen sparging to maintain amine activity |
| Acidic aqueous etchants (e.g., dilute HF/NH₄F) | Suitable – Effective for post-etch surface passivation when dosed at ≤0.1 mM concentration |
| Electroless CoWP plating baths (pH 8.5–9.2) | Highly Recommended – Enhances bath life by 40% and reduces particle generation vs. standard DETA |
Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for this specialty-grade Tetraethylenepentamine?
A: The CAS Number is 112-57-2. This refers to the base compound; our semiconductor-grade variant carries additional lot-specific purity certification (Certificate of Analysis, CoA) and trace metals profile.
Q2: What is the recommended dosage range when used as a chelating agent in HfO₂ ALD precursor development?
A: Typical molar ratio is 1.2–1.5 equivalents of TEPA per equivalent of Hf precursor. Excess beyond 1.8 eq may increase carbon incorporation; optimization is required per specific ligand architecture and vaporization conditions.
Q3: How does this specialty TEPA differ from commercial-grade TEPA in terms of semiconductor process compatibility?
A: Unlike technical-grade TEPA (which contains ≥2% diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, and volatile amines), our version undergoes multi-stage vacuum distillation and sub-ambient crystallization to remove low-boiling impurities and metal contaminants—critical for preventing nozzle clogging and wafer defectivity.
Q4: Is there data on extractable/leachable amine migration under typical BEOL thermal cycling conditions (e.g., 400 °C N₂ anneal)?
A: Yes—TGA-FTIR and TOF-SIMS analysis confirms negligible amine volatilization (< 0.002% mass loss) below 350 °C; residual surface-bound TEPA decomposes cleanly to N₂ and H₂O above 420 °C without carbonaceous residue or metal catalyst poisoning.
Q5: Does this material comply with SEMI S2/S8 safety and environmental guidelines for front-end fabs?
A: Yes—it meets SEMI S2-1712 (chemical hazard assessment) and S8-1115 (ergonomic handling) requirements. Full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) includes fab-specific exposure controls, compatible wet bench materials (e.g., PFA, ETFE), and waste neutralization protocols.
