Popis: | Thin films containing germanium or tin have a great variety of current and potential applications, particularly their oxides or chalcogenides. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) are popular ways to make these thin films conformally even on challenging nanostructured substrates. The success of these processes depends on having precursors that are sufficiently stable, volatile, and reactive. In this paper we optimize the syntheses of the following three precursors: 1 and 2 are racemic Ge(II) or Sn(II) cyclic amides made from N2,N3-di-tert-butylbutane-2,3-diamine, and 3 is bis(N,N′-diisopropylacetamidinato)tin(II). All three compounds are demonstrated to be effective precursors for ALD of their monosulfides, GeS or SnS, by reaction with H2S. 2 has also been reported previously to make polycrystalline SnO2 by ALD with oxidizing agents such as H2O2. The cyclic amides 1 and 2 are more volatile than the amidinate 3, vaporizing sufficiently for ALD even at precursor temperatures bel... |
