Abstract:
1. A method of forming a metal-containing film on a substrate, comprising: a) providing a reactor and at least one substrate disposed therein; b) introducing a metal-containing precursor into the reactor, wherein the metal-containing precursor is bis(4N-ethylaminopent-3-en-2N-ethyliminato) Nickel (II); c) maintaining the reactor at a temperature of at least about 50° C.; d) maintaining the reactor at a pressure of at least about 1 Pa; e) contacting the precursor with the substrate to form a metal-containing film; and f) introducing at least one oxidizing gas into the reactor, wherein the oxidizing gas comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of: O wherein the metal-containing precursor and the oxidizing gas are introduced into the chamber sequentially, and the chamber is configured for plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition.
