Patent ID: 7413775

Claim:
A process for forming a film on a substrate which comprises subjecting a precursor material to chemical vapor deposition to thereby deposit the film on the substrate; wherein the precursor material is represented by one of the following formulae (1), (2) or (3): wherein the organic silane compound having such a structure that a tertiary hydrocarbon group is directly bonded to a silicon atom has the following formula (1): wherein each of R 1 , R 2 and R 3 is a C 1-20 hydrocarbon group, provided that R 1 , R 2 and R 3 may be bonded to each other to form a cyclic structure, R 4 is a C 1-10 hydrocarbon group or a hydrogen atom, and a is an integer of from 1 to 3; or wherein the organic silane compound having such a structure that a tertiary hydrocarbon group is directly bonded to a silicon atom has the following formula (2): wherein each of R 5 and R 6 is a C 1-20 hydrocarbon group, each of R 7 and R 8 is a hydrogen atom or a C 1-20 hydrocarbon group, provided that a plurality of R 5 's, or R 6 and R 8 may be bonded to each other to form a cyclic structure, and each of b and c is 0 or 1; or wherein the organic silane compound having such a structure that a secondary hydrocarbon group is directly bonded to a silicon atom has the following formula (3): wherein each of R 9 and R 10 is a monovalent C 1-20 hydrocarbon group and R 11 is a C 1-20 hydrocarbon group, R 12 is a C 1-4 hydrocarbon group, d is an integer of from 1 to 3, e is an integer of from 0 to 2, and d+e is an integer of at most 3.
