A method of solid precursor delivery for a vapor deposition process is provided. In some embodiments, a precursor ampoule is provided including a solid precursor arranged in the precursor ampoule. A solvent is added to the precursor ampoule including one or more ionic liquids to dissolve chemical species of the solid precursor and to form a liquid precursor. A carrier gas is applied into the liquid precursor through an inlet of the precursor ampoule. A gas precursor is generated at an upper region of the precursor ampoule by vaporization of the liquid precursor. The chemical species of the solid precursor are delivered into a vapor deposition chamber by the carrier gas. The chemical species of the solid precursor is deposited onto a substrate within the vapor deposition chamber.
