Publication number: 20230307239Abstract: The current disclosure relates to vapor phase methods of depositing a metal or a semimetal-comprising materials on a substrate. In the methods, various metal or semimetal precursors may be used together with reactants that may generate hydrogen radical or amino radical to react with the metal or semimetal precursor to deposit the metal or semimetal-comprising material on the substrate. The disclosure further relates to materials and structures deposited by the disclosed methods, as well as deposition assemblies.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Sean T. Barry, Goran Bacic, Charles Dezelah, Timothee Blanquart, René Henricus Jozef Vervuurt, Peter Gordon

Publication number: 20220178027Abstract: Atomic layer deposition (ALD) type processes for producing metal containing thin films comprise feeding into a reaction space vapor phase pulses of metal containing cyclopentadienyl precursors as a metal source material. In preferred embodiments the metal containing cyclopentadienyl reactant comprises a metal atom that is not directly bonded to an oxygen or halide atom. In other embodiments the metal atom is bonded to a cyclopentadienyl compound and separately bonded to at least one ligand via a nitrogen atom. In still other embodiments the metal containing cyclopentadienyl compound comprises a nitrogen-bridged ligand.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Sean T.
