This invention is directed to a method of forming electrical conductors comprised of conductive metals generally carried on a substrate. In the method, a conductor formulation generally comprised of metal particles or metal precursor or mixture thereof, typically in the form of an ink or paste, is applied to the substrate and converted into a conductive metal by application of sufficient heat and for a sufficient time to effect sintering thereof while in the presence of a negatively charged ionic reducing gas.

摘要:
In the present invention, a metal halide film is grown which is then reduced to the metal film rather than growing the metal film directly on the substrate surface. In certain embodiments, a metal halide film is grown from at least two precursors: a halogen-containing precursor and a metal-containing precursor. The metal halide film is then exposed to a reducing agent to form the metal film. In certain preferred embodiments, the metal halide film is exposed to the reducing agent prior to the completion of the growing step.

We have used the state-of-the-art computational chemistry techniques to identify adhesion promoting layer materials that provide good adhesion of copper seed layer to the adhesion promoting layer and the adhesion promoting layer to the barrier layer. We have identified factors responsible for providing good adhesion of copper layer on various metallic surfaces and circumstances under which agglomeration of copper film occur. Several promising adhesion promoting layer materials based on chromium alloys have been predicted to be able to significantly enhance the adhesion of copper films. Chromium containing complexes of a polydentate β-ketoiminate have been identified as chromium containing precursors to make the alloys with chromium.

The present invention is a composition for deposition of a mixed metal or metal compound layer, comprising a solventless mixture of at least two metal-ligand complex precursors, wherein the mixture is liquid at ambient conditions and the ligands are the same and are selected from the group consisting of alkyls, alkoxides, halides, hydrides, amides, imides, azides cyclopentadienyls, carbonyls, and their fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen substituted analogs. The present invention is also a process for deposition of a multiple metal or metal compound layer on a substrate of an electronic material, comprising: a) providing a solventless mixture of two or more metal-ligand complex precursors which constitute a liquid at ambient conditions, wherein the ligands are the same and are selected from the group consisting of alkyls, alkoxides, halides, hydrides, amides, imides, azides, nitrates, cyclopentadienyls, carbonyls, pyrazoles, and their fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen substituted analogs; b) delivering the solventless mixture by direct liquid injection to a flash vaporization zone to vaporize the solventless mixture; c) contacting the substrate under deposition conditions with a resulting vapor of the solventless mixture, and c) depositing a multiple metal or metal compound layer on the substrate from the solventless mixture.

This invention is directed to a group of novel homologous eight membered ring compounds having a metal, such as copper, reversibly bound in the ring and containing carbon, nitrogen, silicon and/or other metals. A structural representation of the compounds of this invention is shown below: wherein M and M′ are each a metal such as Cu, Ag, Au and Ir; X and X′ can be N or O; Y and Y′ can be Si, C; Sn, Ge, Al, or B; and Z and Z′ can be C, N, or O. Substituents represented by R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R1′, R2′, R3′, R4′, R5′, and R6′ will vary depending on the ring atom to which they are attached. This invention is also directed to depositing metal and metal-containing films on a substrate, under ALD or CVD conditions, using the above novel compounds as precursors.
