摘要:
A series of organometallic complexes of the general formula [M(CO)2L2] was provided, wherein M is ruthenium or osmium metal, and L is a &bgr;-diketonate ligand RC(O)CHC(O)R1 where each of R and R1 is independently selected from the group consisting of atoms of the element, C, H, O and F. These ruthenium and osmium complexes possess enhanced volatility and thermal stability characteristics, and are very suitable for CVD applications. Also disclosed are CVD methods by using these ruthenium or osmium complexes as source reagents for deposition of Ru, Os, RuO2, OsO2, and other Ru- or Os-containing films such as mixed metal oxide materials BaRuO3, SrRuO3, Sr2RuO4 and Bi2Ru2O7 or bimetallic alloys Pt/Ru and Pd/Ru.
