Abstract

The identification of appropriate ligand-metal combinations, which successfully present the features of: (i) having acceptable melting point, (ii) being more thermally stable than hafnium alkylamides, (iii) having sufficient volatility for vapor phase distribution and (iv) enabling the deposition by liquid-injection MOCVD and ALD of hafnium containing thin films, should go through new generations of well-behaved molecular precursors. We report herein the chemical design of a portfolio of novel mono- and bis-amidinate and guanidinate alkylamide hafnium complexes of N,N′-unsymmetrically substituted 1,3-amidinate and 1,3-guanidinate [R′-N=CX-NR"] xHf(NR2)4-x (R′≠ R" = Et, iPr, tBu; R = Me or Et; X = Me, NMe2 or NEt2; x = 1 or 2). We will exemplify the remarkable influence of the molecular structure on the volatility, the thermal stability and the nature (cubic, monoclinic) of HfO 2 thin films by pulsed liquid-injection MOCVD.
