Abstract: A chemical vapor deposition reaction system converts a reactant precursor, which includes the metal Ruthenium, to a vapor during a chemical reaction in order to deposit the metal on a semiconductor wafer. The reactant precursor is Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)(1,5-cyclooctadiene)Ru. An energy source provides energy to the reaction chamber to induce the chemical reaction. A controllable metering system alternatively supplies the precursor and oxygen to the reaction chamber. The precursor is supplied into the reaction chamber during a first phase and the oxygen is supplied into the reaction chamber during a second phase, which is non-overlapping with the first phase. A first pump/valve provides the precursor to the reaction chamber, and a second pump/valve provides the oxygen to the reaction chamber, each in response to a controller. The Ruthenium is selectively deposited on oxide sites patterned on a surface of the semiconductor wafer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing an Sr--Bi--Ta or Nb-based composite alkoxide with the structure of an atomic arrangement controlled, having a metal atomic ratio of Sr:Bi:Ta or Nb=1:2:2, characterized in that an Sr alkoxide (Sr(OR).sub.2) prepared from an Sr metal is allowed to react with a Bi alkoxide (Bi(OR).sub.3) in alcohol to produce an Sr--Bi double alkoxide (Sr?Bi(OR).sub.4 !.sub.2), and subsequently the alkoxide is allowed to react with a Ta alkoxide (Ta(OR).sub.5) or an Nb alkoxide (Nb(OR).sub.5).
