Precursor chemistries for chemical vapor deposition of ruthenium and ruthenium oxide

摘要

A method is provided for forming a film of ruthenium or ruthenium oxide on the surface of a substrate by employing the techniques of chemical vapor deposition to decompose precursors of ruthenium having the formula: LyRuXz where L is a neutral or monoanionic ligand selected from the group consisting essentially of linear hydrocarbyls, branched hydrocarbyls, cyclic hydrocarbyls, cyclic alkenes, dienes, cyclic dienes, trienes, cyclic trienes, bicyclic alkenes, bicyclic dienes, bicyclic trienes, tricyclic alkenes, tricyclic dienes, tricyclic trienes; fluorinated derivatives thereof; derivatives thereof additionally containing heteroatoms such as a halide, Si, S, Se, P, As, N or O; and combinations thereof; where X is a pi-bonding ligand selected from the group consisting of CO, NO, CN, CS, nitriles, isonitriles, trialkylphosphines, trialkylphosphites, trialkylamines, and isocyanide, and where subscripts y and z have a value of from one (1) to three (3); or L1Ru(CO)4 where L is a neutral or monoanionic ligand selected from the group including linear hydrocarbyls, branched hydrocarbyls, cyclic hydrocarbyls, cyclic alkenes, dienes, cyclic dienes, trienes, cyclic trienes, bicyclic dienes, and bicyclic trienes.
