Patent ID: 6958300

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 M 1 q (O) x (OR 1 ) y (Formula I) and at least one precursor compound of the formula M 2 (NR 2 ) w (NR 3 R 4 ) z (Formula II), wherein: M 1 and M 2 are the same metal; each R 1 is independently an organic group; R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 are each independently hydrogen or an organic group; x is 0 to 4; y is 1 to 8; w is 0 to 4; z is 1 to 8; q is 1 or 2; and x, y, z, and w are dependent on the oxidation states of M 1 and 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, wherein the vapor deposition process is an atomic layer deposition process comprising a plurality of deposition cycles.
