  • Tungsten nitrido precursors for the CVD of tungsten nitride, carbonitride, and oxide films
    Patent number: 9540284
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of preparing a WNx, WNxCy, WNxOz, and WNxCyOz solid by the deposition of a WNx precursor at a temperature below 300° C. The WNx precursor is a tungsten nitrido complex. The deposition can be carried out using a tungsten nitrido complex as a single-source metal organic precursor. In an embodiment of the invention, the deposition can be performed to form a plurality of WNx, WNxCy, WNxOz, WNxCyOz nanoparticles.
    Type: Grant
