Trimethylsilylamine

Trimethylsilylamine (chemical formula N(SiH₃)₃, abbreviated as TSA) is a colorless liquid with good fluidity and high sensitivity to moisture. It has a melting point of -105.6 °C and a boiling point of 52 °C. TSA is an important silicon-containing compound with specific applications in the semiconductor industry, where it is used to deposit high-purity silicon oxide films as gap-fill materials in semiconductor processes. In addition, it can also serve as a precursor for synthesizing other organosilicon compounds or aminosilanes.

Process

TSA has multiple application areas, including but not limited to: Coatings, rubber, and plastics: Used as an additive or modifier to enhance material properties. Chemical synthesis: Employed as a precursor for producing other organosilicon compounds, such as aminosilanes. Semiconductor industry: Utilized in chip fabrication processes as a precursor for silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) and silicon oxynitride (SiON) layers. Deposition processes: Applied as a reactive precursor in Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) for high-quality thin films. Production of Trimethylsilylamine (TSA) Trimethylsilylamine (TSA) is typically synthesized by reacting monochlorosilane with NH₃ under low-temperature conditions. It can also be obtained through alternative methods to achieve high-purity TSA, such as: Pyrolysis of polysilazane under oxygen-free or low-oxygen conditions at 300–600 °C. Amino transfer reaction between diisopropylaminosilane and ammonia under heating and pressure. At Jinhong Gas, TSA is produced by dissolving chlorosilane in toluene and gradually adding NH₃. The critical parameters lie in controlling the reaction temperature and the ammonia feed rate. Currently, Jinhong Gas achieves an annual production capacity of 10 tons of 3N-grade TSA.
