Abstract:
A cobalt deposition process, including: volatilizing a cobalt precursor selected from among CCTBA, CCTMSA, and CCBTMSA, to form a precursor vapor; and contacting the precursor vapor with a substrate under vapor deposition conditions effective for depositing on the substrate (i) high purity, low resistivity cobalt or (ii) cobalt that is annealable by thermal annealing to form high purity, low resistivity cobalt. Such cobalt deposition process can be used to manufacture product articles in which the deposited cobalt forms an electrode, capping layer, encapsulating layer, diffusion layer, or seed for electroplating of metal thereon, e.g., a semiconductor device, flat-panel display, or solar panel.

Abstract:
A tungsten precursor useful for forming tungsten-containing material on a substrate, e.g., in the manufacture of microelectronic devices. The tungsten precursor is devoid of fluorine content, and may be utilized in a solid delivery process or other vapor deposition technique, to form films such as elemental tungsten for metallization of integrated circuits, or tungsten nitride films or other tungsten compound films that are useful as base layers for subsequent elemental tungsten metallization.
Abstract:
Coatings applicable to a variety of substrate articles, structures, materials, and equipment are described. In various applications, the substrate includes metal surface susceptible to formation of oxide, nitride, fluoride, or chloride of such metal thereon, wherein the metal surface is configured to be contacted in use with gas, solid, or liquid that is reactive therewith to form a reaction product that is deleterious to the substrate article, structure, material, or equipment. The metal surface is coated with a protective coating preventing reaction of the coated surface with the reactive gas, and/or otherwise improving the electrical, chemical, thermal, or structural properties of the substrate article or equipment. Various methods of coating the metal surface are described, and for selecting the coating material that is utilized.
