Patent ID: 7960205

Claim:
A method of depositing tellurium - containing film on a semiconductor substrate, comprising a. providing a tellurium precursor to the semiconductor substrate, the tellurium precursor selected from the group consisting of (R 1 R 2 R 3 Si) 2 Te; (R 1 R 2 R 3 Si)TeR 4 ; and (R 1 R 2 R 3 Si)TeN(R 4 R 5 ), where R 1 ,R 2 ,R 3 ,R 4 and R 5 are individually hydrogen, alkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbons in linear, branched, or cyclic form, or an aromatic group; b. providing an alcohol to the semiconductor substrate to react with the tellurium precursor to form a tellurium layer; and, c. maintaining a deposition temperature from 80° C. to 500° C.
