Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure, the method comprising:providing a semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly;heating the semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly to a temperature of about 200.degree. C. to about 350.degree. C.;providing a precursor composition comprising one or more complexes of the formula:CpIr(CO).sub.2wherein Cp is a substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl ligand; heating and vaporizing the precursor composition to form vaporized precursor composition to provide a partial pressure of CpIr(CO).sub.2 of at least about 0.001 torr in one or more carrier gases; and directing the vaporized precursor composition in the presence of one or more carrier gases and one or more oxidizing gases toward the semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly to form a generally conformal iridium metal layer or iridium oxide layer on a surface of the semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly.
