Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure comprising:providing a semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly;providing a precursor comprising at least one carboxylate complex having a formula selected from the group of:M.sup.n+ (OC(O)R.sup.1).sub.u (OR.sup.2).sub.v {(R.sup.3)(R.sup.4)N[(CH.sub.2).sub.w N(R.sup.5)].sub.x (CH.sub.2).sub.y N(R.sup.6)(R.sup.7)}.sub.z (Formula I),M.sup.n+ (OC(O)R.sup.1).sub.u (O).sub.v {(R.sup.3)(R.sup.4)N[(CH.sub.2).sub.w N(R.sup.5)].sub.x (CH.sub.2).sub.y N(R.sup.6)(R.sup.7)}.sub.z (Formula II),and combinations thereof,wherein: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 n-1;w=1 to 5;x=0 to 8;y=1 to 5;z=0 to 5; andu+v=n for Formula I or u+2v=n for Formula II;with the proviso that at least one carboxylate complex has a formula whereinz=1 to 5; andvaporizing 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.
