Sequentially pulsed chemical vapour deposition was used to successfully deposit thin nanocrystalline films of copper(I) chloride using an atomic layer deposition system in order to investigate their application to UV optoelectronics. The films were deposited at 125 °C using [Bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene](hexafluoroacetylacetonato)copper(I) as a Cu precursor and pyridine hydrochloride as a new Cl precursor. The films were analysed by XRD, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), SEM, photoluminescence, and spectroscopic reflectance. Capping layers of aluminium oxide were deposited in situ by ALD (atomic layer deposition) to avoid environmental degradation. The film adopted a polycrystalline zinc blende-structure. The main contaminants were found to be organic materials from the precursor. Photoluminescence showed the characteristic free and bound exciton emissions from CuCl and the characteristic exciton absorption peaks could also be detected by reflectance measurements.

A survey of known gold-containing chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) precursors, with a focus on collecting their volatilization and decomposition data. These data were applied to a figure of merit (σ) developed to easily assess the thermal characteristics.

Volatile metal complexes are important for chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) to deliver metal components to growing thin films. Compounds that are thermally stable enough to volatilize but that can also react with a specific substrate are uncommon and remain unknown for many metal centres. Guanidinate ligands, as discussed in this review, have proven their utility for CVD and ALD precursors for a broad range of metal centres. Guanidinate complexes have been used to deposit metal oxides, metal nitrides and pure metal films by tuning process parameters. Our review highlights use of guanidinate ligands for CVD and ALD of thin films over the past five years, design trends for precursors, promising precursor candidates and discusses the future outlook of these ligands.
