George*, † ‡ Department of Chemistry and Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309, United States ABSTRACT: Thermal atomic layer etching (ALE) is an important technique for the precise isotropic etching of nanostructures. Thermal ALE of many materials can be achieved using a two-step fluorination and ligand-exchange reaction mechanism. Most previous thermal ALE processes have used HF as the fluorination reactant. Alternative fluorination reactants may be needed because HF is a weak nucleophilic fluorination reactant. Stronger fluorination agents may be required for the fluorination of some materials. To demonstrate the usefulness of SF4 as an alternative to HF, thermal Al2O3 ALE was compared using SF4 or HF together with Sn(acac)2 as the metal precursor for ligand fl exchange. SF4 and HF were observed to behave similarly as uorination reactants during Al2O3 ALE. The mass gains during the initial SF4 and HF fi ° exposures on Al2O3 atomic layer deposition (ALD) lms at 200 C were comparable at 35 and 38 ng/cm2, respectively, using quartz crystal microbalance measurements. In addition, the etch rates were ° similar at 0.20 and 0.28 Å/cycle for Al2O3 ALE using SF4 and HF, respectively, at 200 C. Thermal VO2 ALE was also fi performed for the rst time using SF4 or HF and Sn(acac)2 as the reactants. There was evidence that SF4 is a stronger fl fl fi uorination reactant than HF for VO2 uorination. The mass gains during the initial SF4 and HF exposures on VO2 ALD lms 2 ° fl were 38 and 20 ng/cm , respectively, at 200 C. Thermal VO2 ALE also had a higher etch rate when uorinating with SF4 compared with HF. Etch rates of 0.30 and 0.11 Å/cycle were measured for VO2 ALE using SF4 and HF, respectively, together ° fl with Sn(acac)2 at 200 C. Fourier transform infrared experiments were also used to monitor uorination of the Al2O3 and VO2 fi ff − − ALD lms by SF4 or HF. FTIR di erence spectroscopy was used to observe the increase of Al F and V F stretching vibrations − and the loss of the Al O and V O/V O stretching vibrations for Al2O3 and VO2, respectively, versus SF4 or HF exposure at ° fl fi 200 C. Additional absorbance features after uorination of the Al2O3 ALD lms by SF4 were consistent with SFx surface fl species. SF4 is a useful uorination agent for thermal ALE processes and can be used as an alternative to HF. In addition, SF4 may be necessary when fluorination requires a stronger fluorination reactant than HF. from https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.chemmater.8b05294.

Thrasher, Ph.D., Committee Chair Julia L. Brumaghim, Ph.D. R. Karl Dieter, Ph.D. Joseph W. Kolis, Ph.D. Title Page ABSTRACT Beginning in the early 1960s, scientists began to experiment with the pentafluorosulfanyl moiety. The unique properties of the functional group has attracted interest among fluorine chemists and more recently even organic chemists. These properties include high group electronegativity, high steric bulk, high lipophilicity, a highly electron withdrawing nature, and a square pyramidal geometry. However, the development and deployment of the pentafluorosulfanyl functional group has been significantly slowed. The main cause for the slow development is a lack of easily available reagents to synthesize pentafluorosulfanyl-containing compounds. Historically, the primary reagents used for synthesizing pentafluorosulfanyl-containing compounds were SF5Cl and SF5Br.
