[23a-A401-4] Atomic layer deposition of ZnO thin films using a novel liquid precursor, Zn(Cppm)2.
Keywords:atomic layer deposition, zinc oxide, new precursor
ZnO, a wide-gap semiconductor, has been studied as a material for transparent conductive films and light-emitting devices. Diethylzinc (DEZ) has been widely studied as a Zn precursor for depositing a ZnO thin film by ALD. However, the DEZ is pyrophoric and requires careful handling. Here, we report the results of an examination of ALD using bis (n-propyltetramethylcyclopentadienyl) zinc as a Zn precursor for ALD that does not spontaneously ignite.
