General description

Tetrakis(ethylmethylamido)hafnium(IV) (TEMAH) is a colorlessliquid, which freezes at -50 °C and boils around 78 °C at 0.1 Torr. It is air-and water-sensitive.

Application

Precursors Packaged for Depositions Systems
TEMAH is used as a precursor for atomic layer deposition(ALD) of conformal thin films of hafnium oxide (HfO2) and hafnium zirconium oxide (Hf1-xZrxO2), which are used as dielectric films in semiconductor fabrication because of their high dielectric constants.

TEMAH is well-suited for ALD because its adsorption is self-limiting on a number of substrates including glass, indium-tin oxide(ITO), Si(100), and two-dimensional materials like MoS2. TEMAH also conveniently reacts with either water or ozone as the oxygen-source in the ALD process.

Features and Benefits

This TEMAH is packaged in a Swagelok stainless-steeldeposition system convenient for connecting to ALD systems.

  • Steel cylinder connected to 316 stainless steelball-valve
  • 1/4 inch male Swagelok VCR connections

Sensitive photodetection is crucial for modern optoelectronic technology. Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) with unique crystal structure, and extraordinary electrical and optical properties is a promising candidate for ultrasensitive photodetection. Previously reported methods to improve the performance of MoS2 photodetectors have focused

We report on the effect of oxygen plasma treatment of two-dimensional multilayer MoS2 crystals on the subsequent growth of Al2O3 and HfO2 films, which were formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using trimethylaluminum and tetrakis-(ethylmethylamino)hafnium metal precursors, respectively, with water
