Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure comprising:providing a semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly; providing a precursor comprising one or more carboxylate complexes of the formula: Mn+(OC(O)R1)u(OR2)v{(R3)(R4)N[(CH2)wN(R5)]x(CH2)yN(R6)(R7)}zâ€ƒâ€ƒ(Formula I) orMn+(OC(O)R1)u(O)v{(R3)(R4)N[(CH2)wN(R5)]x(CH2)yN(R6)(R7)}zâ€ƒâ€ƒ(Formula II) â€ƒwherein: M is a metal or metalloid; each R is H or an organic group; n+ is the valence oxidation state of the metal or metalloid; u=1 to n; v=0 to nâˆ’1; w=1 to 5; x=0 to 8; y=1 to 5; z>0; and u+v=n for Formula I or u+2v=n for Formula II; and vaporizing the precursor and directing it toward the semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly using a chemical vapor deposition technique to form a film on a surface of the semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly.
