Patent ID: 7648926

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure, the method comprising: providing a semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly; providing at least one precursor compound of the formula L n M 1 O x (keto) y (Formula I) and at least one precursor compound of the formula M 2 Y z (Formula II), wherein: M 1 and M 2 are the same metal; each L group is a neutral or anionic supporting ligand; each “keto” is independently a diketonate or ketoimine ligand; each Y group is independently a halogen (X), R 1 , or an amine of the formula (NR 2 R 3 ), wherein each R 1 is an organic moiety, and each R 2 and R 3 is independently hydrogen or an organic group; n is 0 to 5; x is 0 to 3; y is 1 to 5 and is dependent on the oxidation state of M 1 and on the value of n; and z is at least one and is dependent on the oxidation state of M 2; and contacting the precursor compounds to form a metal oxide layer on one or more surfaces of the semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly using a vapor deposition process.
