Abstract

In recent years much attention has been given world-wide to the development of suitable MOCVD precursors for the deposition of HTcS thin films. Synthetic research has been and is concentrated on the development of superior Ba-, Sr-, Ca- and Y-precursors. Most emphasis is given to the synthesis of thermally stable volatile barium compounds. Synthetic strategies are based on encapsulating the central metal atom, by use of multidentate ligand systems and/or bulky substituents. Most attention is given to the development of thermally stable volatile ß-diketonate complexes, fluorine-free and fluorine-substituted, with auxiliary ligands. Thermally stable monomeric complexes of fluorine-substituted ß-diketonates with polyethers are by far the most volatile Ba-, Sr-, and Ca-precursors presently available. Low melting Y(thd)3.L complexes where L is 4-Et- or 4-t-Bupyridine- N-oxide can be used as liquid yttrium MOCVD precursors at temperatures above 100°C. This paper gives a survey of the trends in recent research activity and developments in these areas.
