Organometallic amidinate and carbonyl precursors: MerckRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent film purity and deposition rates in vapor phase manufacturing increase unit costs. These complexes utilize specific ligand architectures to stabilize metal centers for precise atomic layer control.

What technical problems is Merck addressing in Organometallic amidinate and carbonyl precursors?

Poor substrate nucleation selectivity

(23)evidences

Uncontrolled decomposition and oxygen incorporation during vapor deposition degrade film purity. Eliminating reactive oxygen and stabilizing ligand exchange prevents unwanted secondary phases.

Insufficient precursor thermal stability

(6)evidences

Standard organometallic precursors often suffer from premature decomposition or low volatility during vapor deposition. Improving thermal robustness ensures uniform film growth and prevents contamination in semiconductor manufacturing.
