Patent ID: 7410918

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure, the method comprising: providing a semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly within a deposition chamber; providing at least one alcohol of the formula R(OH) r wherein R is an organic group and r is 1 to 3; providing at least one metal-containing precursor compound of the formula M 1 (NR 1 ) w (NR 2 R 3 ) Z (Formula I), M 2 R 4 q (Formula II), or Lewis Base adducts of Formula II, wherein: M 1 and M 2 are each independently a metal; R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 are each independently hydrogen or an organic group; w is 0 to 4; z is 1 to 8; q is 1 to 5; and w, z, and q are dependent on the oxidation states of the metals; 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, wherein the metal oxide layer comprises two or more different metals, wherein the precursor compounds are vaporized in the presence of an inert carrier gas.
