Claim 0:
1. A method of depositing a film, the method comprising:
exposing a substrate in a processing chamber to a silicon precursor to deposit a silicon-containing film on the substrate, the silicon precursor having a structure of general formula (Id), (IX), or (X), wherein R1, and R2 are independently selected from hydrogen (H), substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy, and substituted or unsubstituted vinyl, X is silicon (Si) or carbon (C), Y is carbon (C) or oxygen (O), R9, R10, R11, R12 R13, R14, R15, and R16 are independently selected from hydrogen (H), substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy, substituted or unsubstituted vinyl, silane, substituted or unsubstituted amine, or halide;
purging the processing chamber of the silicon precursor;
exposing the substrate to an oxidant to react with the silicon-containing film to form one or more of a silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) film or a silicon oxycarbonitride (SiOCN) film on the substrate, the oxidant comprising one or more of a carboxylic acid, an aldehyde, a ketone, an ethenediol, an oxalic acid, a glyoxylic acid, an alcohol, and a glyoxal; and
purging the processing chamber of the oxidant.
