Abstract

Thin films of ZrO2 are deposited by liquid injection metal-organic chemical vapor deposition using the novel zirconium precursors Zr(OPr)2(thd)2 and Zr(OBu)2(thd)2. It is shown that these precursors allow the optimized growth of ZrO2 at significantly lower substrate temperatures than the conventional Zr(thd)4 source. The ZrO2 films grown from Zr(OPr)2(thd)2 are are found to be relatively pure (C approx. 2%), whereas those grown from Zr(OBu)2(thd)2 contains high levels of carbon impurity (approx. 13%).
