Abstract
A method for producing an organometallic layer includes providing a substrate having at least a layer with atoms of an oxidizable metal on its surface. The surface is exposed to a fluid that includes organic molecules having at least two functional groups that contain elements of main group VI such that the atoms of the oxidizable metal form a bond with the organic molecules. By consumption of the atoms of oxidizable metal and of the organic molecules, the organometallic layer is formed on the substrate at locations on the surface of the substrate where the atoms of oxizable are disposed, the atoms of oxizable metal being incorporated into the organometallic layer. A thickness of the organometallic layer is determined by a duration of the exposing, a thickness of the layer including the atoms of the oxidizable metal, and the number of organic molecules in the fluid.
