Abstract
The invention provides certain mixed Sn (II) amide/alkoxide precursor compounds. These compounds are useful in precursor compositions in the vapor deposition of tin-containing films such as tin oxide films onto a surface of a microelectronic device. These precursor compounds are useful in, for example, extreme ultraviolet light (EUV) lithography techniques used in microelectronic device manufacturing when paired with certain counter-reactants in a vapor deposition process. In this process, the resulting organotin polymeric surface is thus EUV-patternable insofar as when exposed to a patterned beam of EUV light, exposed portions are subjected to further reaction, thus creating regions which are chemically and physically different; this difference enables further processing and lithography of exposed regions and/or non-exposed regions and lithography in pursuit of the ultimate fabricated microelectronic device.
