Semiconductor Raw Material Specialty Amine Series Triethylenetetramine

Triethylenetetramine (TETA) is a high-purity semiconductor-grade specialty amine from the Semiconductor Raw Material Specialty Amine Series by Huntsman—model TETA-SC. It serves as a critical chelating agent and curing agent in advanced packaging, CMP slurries, and photoresist formulations. Engineered for ultra-low metal impurities (<10 ppb), it ensures exceptional dielectric stability and process compatibility in 5nm–3nm node fabrication.

Features Of Semiconductor Raw Material Specialty Amine Series Triethylenetetramine

  1. Ultra-low ionic impurity profile optimized for semiconductor-grade purity requirements (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Fe³⁺ < 10 ppb).

  2. Controlled molecular weight distribution ensuring consistent reactivity in thin-film deposition and surface functionalization processes.

  3. High thermal stability (decomposition onset > 280 °C) suitable for high-temperature CVD and ALD precursor synthesis.

  4. Low volatility and negligible vapor pressure at room temperature—enhancing handling safety and process reproducibility.

  5. Strict batch-to-batch consistency certified via GC-MS, IC, and ICP-MS analytical validation per SEMI S2/S8 standards.

Typical Applications Of Semiconductor Raw Material Specialty Amine Series Triethylenetetramine

  1. Chelating ligand in metal–organic precursors for high-k dielectric (e.g., HfO₂, ZrO₂) atomic layer deposition.

  2. Surface modifier for SiO₂ and SiNₓ wafers to enable selective adsorption of catalytic metal complexes.

  3. Stabilizing agent in colloidal dispersion of Cu and Co nanoparticles for advanced interconnect metallization.

  4. Functional co-monomer in photoresist-compatible polyamine resins for EUV lithography underlayer formulations.

  5. Complexing additive in electroless copper plating baths for ultra-fine pitch redistribution layers (RDLs).

Semiconductor Raw Material Specialty Amine Series Triethylenetetramine – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Number for this specialty-grade triethylenetetramine?

A: The CAS Registry Number is 112-24-3. This product is manufactured and purified exclusively to semiconductor-grade specifications — distinct from commercial or technical grades bearing the same CAS.


Q2: What is the recommended dosage range when used as a chelating agent in CMP slurry formulations?

A: Typical dosage is 0.05–0.3 wt% relative to total slurry mass. Optimal concentration is application-specific and must be validated via zeta potential and particle size distribution analysis to avoid agglomeration.


Q3: How does this grade differ from standard TETA (e.g., Sigma-Aldrich 207742) in terms of semiconductor process compatibility?

A: Unlike general-purpose TETA, this grade undergoes multi-stage distillation under inert atmosphere, followed by sub-micron filtration and real-time ionic impurity monitoring. It contains ≤ 5 ppb total metals (vs. ≥ 500 ppb in standard grades) and zero detectable chloride or sulfate — critical for gate oxide integrity.


Q4: Is there data available on extractables/migratables in contact with high-purity process water (UPW) at 60 °C?

A: Yes. Per ASTM F3245-22 testing, total organic carbon (TOC) leachables remain < 0.5 ppb after 72 h immersion in UPW at 60 °C, with no detectable amine fragments by LC-MS/MS.


Q5: Does this material comply with JEDEC J-STD-033 moisture sensitivity levels for dry-packaged semiconductor raw materials?

A: While not classified as an MSL device, the sealed packaging meets J-STD-033 Level 2a requirements (≤ 30 µg/g moisture uptake over 12 months at 30 °C/60% RH), verified by gravimetric moisture permeation testing.
