Claim 9:
10. The method according to claim 1, comprising at least one of the following steps:
a) delivering a first vapor of a first precursor material into the ALD chamber in a during a time-window of a first duration to form a solid monolayer of Hf[(CH3)2N]2O on a surface of a chosen substrate while generating a fluid by-product, (CH3)2NH(dimethylamine) simultaneously with formation of said solid monolayer;
b) removing a portion of the vapor of the first precursor material that has not reacted with the surface of the target material and the fluid by-product from the ALD chamber as a result of purging the ALD chamber with nitrogen gas;
c) delivering a second vapor of liquid into the ALD chamber during a time window of a second duration for create a monolayer of the target material on the surface;
d) removing excess of the second vapor by purging the ALD chamber with nitrogen; and
e) repeating steps a) through d) multiple times to accumulate a layer of the target material having a pre-determined thickness on the surface.
