Popis: | Thin films of ZrO2 and HfO2 have been deposited by liquid injection MOCVD using the new alkoxide precursors [Zr(OBut)2(dmop)2] (1) and [Hf(OBut)2(dmop)2] (2) [dmop = 2-(4,4-dimethyloxazolinyl)-propanolate]. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 have been determined, and they are shown to be six-coordinate monomeric complexes. They are volatile, and are significantly less reactive to air and moisture than existing Zr and Hf alkoxide precursors such as [Zr(OBut)4] and [Hf(OBut)4]. The ZrO2 and HfO2 thin films were deposited over substrate temperatures ranging from 350–550 °C. Analysis by X-ray diffraction shows that the films were deposited in the thermodynamically stable α- or monoclinic phase, and Auger electron spectroscopy shows that the ZrO2 and HfO2 films are non-stoichiometric and that carbon (1.9–8 at%) was present in the oxide films. |
