Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An organometallic precursor includes tungsten as a central metal and a cyclopentadienyl ligand bonded to the central metal. A first structure including an alkylsilyl group or a second structure including an allyl ligand is bonded to the cyclopentadienyl ligand or bonded to the central metal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising: forming a barrier conductive layer by providing an organometallic precursor on a semiconductor substrate, the organometallic precursor being represented by one of the following Chemical Formulae 1-3 or 1-4, forming a metal layer on the barrier conductive layer. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the forming the barrier conductive layer includes providing a nitrogen-containing gas over the substrate during the providing the organometallic precursor, and the forming the forming the barrier conductive layer includes forming the barrier conductive layer as a tungsten nitride layer. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the forming the metal layer includes providing the organometallic precursor on the barrier conductive layer, and the metal layer includes a tungsten layer. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the forming the metal layer includes providing the organometallic precursor on the barrier conductive layer with a hydrogen gas. 5. A method of forming a layer comprising: forming a precursor thin film on a substrate, the precursor thin film including an organometallic precursor, the organometallic precursor being represented by one of the following Chemical Formulae 1-3 or 1-4, forming a metal nitride layer by providing a reaction gas over the precursor thin film, the reaction gas including a nitrogen-containing gas; and forming a plurality of metal nitride layers by repeating the forming the precursor thin film and the forming the metal nitride layer at least one time. 6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising: forming a plurality of reaction material layers alternately stacked with the plurality of metal nitride layers, wherein the forming the plurality of reaction material layers includes forming a metal atomic layer on a corresponding one of the plurality of metal nitride layers and providing the reaction gas over the metal atomic layer before forming a next one of the plurality of metal nitride layers. 7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the forming the plurality of metal nitride layers is performed in a process chamber while the process chamber is maintained at a temperature in a range of range of about 200° C. to about 600° C.
