Abstract
Complex mixed metal containing thin films can be deposited by CVD from liquid mixtures of metal complexes without solvent by direct liquid injection and by other precursor dispersing method such as aerosol delivery with subsequent annealing to improve electrical properties of the deposited films. This process has potential for commercial success in microelectronics device fabrication of dielectrics, ferroelectrics, barrier metals/electrodes, superconductors, catalysts, and protective coatings. Application of this process, particularly the CVD of ZrSnTiOx (zirconium tin titanate, or ZTT) and HfSnTiOx (hafnium tin titanate, or HTT) thin films has been studied successfully.
