Abstract
Infrared spectra have been obtained during atomic layer deposition using tris(isopropylcyclopentadienyl)lanthanum, La(iPrCp)3, and water as precursors at 160 °C and 350 °C. Gas-phase spectra of La(iPrCp)3 are additionally obtained for comparison. At low temperature, ligand exchange is seen to occur. In addition, carbonates are found. With extended purging, the organic ligands are stable on the surface, and carbonates are not formed. These observations indicate that carbonate formation is occurring during exposure to the precursors. At high temperature, the La precursor is observed to decompose leaving an opaque deposit containing relatively little hydrogen.Citation
