Abstract: The present invention relates to an auxiliary precursor, a thin film precursor composition, a method of forming a thin film using the thin film precursor composition, and a semiconductor substrate fabricated using the method. The present invention provides the thin film precursor composition including a thin film precursor compound and a compound having a predetermined structure that exhibits reaction stability as the auxiliary precursor. By using the thin film precursor composition in a thin film deposition process, side reactions may be suppressed, and thin film growth rate may be appropriately controlled. In addition, since process by-products are removed from a thin film, even when a thin film is formed on a substrate having a complicated structure, step coverage and the thickness uniformity and resistivity characteristics of the thin film may be greatly improved.
