Abstract
Metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) is an attractive technique for the deposition of dielectric and ferroelectric oxide thin films such as ZrO2, HfO2, Hf-aluminate and -silicate, lanthanide oxides, Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 and SrBi2Ta2O9, which have a variety of applications in microelectronic devices. In this paper the molecular design of a range of new oxide precursors is described. It is shown how the careful selection and design of precursor ligands, such as alkoxides and β-diketonates, leads to precursors with improved physical properties and significantly enhanced MOCVD performance.
