Abstract

We have synthesized and investigated a novel precursor, {2-(Me 3Si)2C(Cu)C5H4N}2, (1), for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of Cu thin films using H2 as a reducing agent. The alkyl compound (1) is thermally stable but sublimable when heated in a vacuum. Cu was selectively deposited on Si(100) substrate with Pd as a seed layer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that a pure Cu film was deposited on the Pd seed layer at 250°C, and the film is clean in terms of possible contaminants. Thus the Cu(I) alkyl compound is suitable for CVD.
