Abstract: Disclosed are homoleptic diazabutadiene nickel precursors used for the vapor deposition of nickel-containing films. The precursors have the general formula Ni(R-DAD)2, wherein R-DAD stands for substituted 1,4-diazabuta-1,3-diene ligands. The sole presence of the Ni—N bonds was also considered to avoid too high intrusion of other elements, such as carbon, into the nickel-containing films. The flexibility of the Ni—N bond in terms of film deposition also allows using the molecules for nickel, nickel-nitride, nickel-carbonitride, nickel oxide or any other type of nickel-containing films. The nickel-containing film depositions can be carried out by thermal and/or plasma-enhanced CVD, ALD, and pulse CVD or any other type of depositions methods.
