Features Of Semiconductor Raw Material Specialty Amine Series Trioctylamine

  1. Ultra-low metal impurity profile (<10 ppb total metals), critical for high-purity semiconductor process chemistry.

  2. High chemical stability under inert atmosphere and controlled temperature, minimizing decomposition during storage and handling.

  3. Controlled amine basicity (pKb ≈ 3.8) enabling selective coordination with transition metal precursors in CVD/ALD precursor synthesis.

  4. Low volatility and negligible vapor pressure at room temperature, supporting safe handling in Class 100 cleanroom environments.

  5. Batch-to-batch consistency verified via GC-MS, NMR, and ICP-MS analytical certification per lot.

Typical Applications Of Semiconductor Raw Material Specialty Amine Series Trioctylamine

  1. Synthesis of high-purity metal–amine complexes for atomic layer deposition (ALD) of metal nitride barriers (e.g., TaN, TiN).

  2. Stabilizing ligand in solution-phase preparation of colloidal metal nanoparticles for advanced interconnect metallization.

  3. Complexing agent in solvent extraction processes for ultra-trace metal purification (e.g., removal of Fe, Ni, Cu from high-k dielectric precursors).

  4. Reaction moderator in low-temperature thermal decomposition of metal–organic precursors to reduce carbon residue in thin films.

  5. Functional additive in photoresist formulation development for improved adhesion and defect control on Si/SiO₂ substrates.

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

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Trioctylamine used in semiconductor applications?

A: The CAS number is 1116-76-3. Our semiconductor-grade material is purified to remove isomeric impurities (e.g., trihexylamine, tetraoctylammonium salts) and rigorously tested for trace elemental contaminants.


Q2: What is the typical recommended dosage when using Trioctylamine as a ligand in metal precursor synthesis?

A: Dosage is application-specific; common molar ratios range from 1.2:1 to 3:1 (Trioctylamine : metal center). Optimization requires empirical evaluation under inert conditions — we provide technical support for stoichiometric screening protocols.


Q3: How does semiconductor-grade Trioctylamine differ from commercial-grade or reagent-grade amine?

A: Semiconductor-grade Trioctylamine undergoes multi-step fractional distillation under vacuum, followed by chelation-assisted metal scavenging and 0.1 µm PTFE filtration. It meets strict limits for Na, K, Fe, Ni, Cr, Al, and Cl (all <10 ppb by ICP-MS), unlike general-purpose grades.


Q4: Is Trioctylamine subject to migration or leaching in wafer-level processing equipment?

A: No significant migration occurs under standard ALD/CVD conditions (≤300 °C, ≤10 Torr). Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) shows <0.5 wt% mass loss below 350 °C; residual amine is fully volatilized during post-deposition annealing and poses no film contamination risk.
