Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A silicon-containing intermediate is synthesized by reacting a lanthanum tris[bis(trialkylsilyl)amide] complex with an alkylcyclopentadiene. A lanthanum compound is synthesized by reacting the silicon-containing intermediate with a dialkylamidine-based compound.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a thin film, the method comprising: forming a lanthanum-containing film on a substrate by using a lanthanum compound that is a liquid at room temperature, the lanthanum compound being represented by the following Chemical Formula 2: wherein R 1 is a C1-C4 linear or branched alkyl group, each of R 2 and R 3 is independently a C1-C4 linear or branched alkyl group, and R 4 is hydrogen or a methyl group. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lanthanum compound includes one or more compounds represented by the following chemical formulas: 3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the forming of the lanthanum-containing film is performed at a temperature of about 150° C. to about 500° C. under a pressure that is from atmospheric pressure to a pressure of about 10 Pa. 4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the forming of the lanthanum-containing film includes: forming a vaporized source gas containing the lanthanum compound; forming a lanthanum source adsorbed layer on the substrate by providing the vaporized source gas onto the substrate; and providing a reactive gas onto the lanthanum source adsorbed layer. 5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the vaporized source gas contains only the lanthanum compound. 6. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the vaporized source gas contains: the lanthanum compound; and a silicon-containing compound represented by the following Chemical Formula 1: wherein R 1 is a C1-C4 linear or branched alkyl group, and each R X is independently a C1-C2 alkyl group. 7. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the reactive gas includes O 2 , O 3 , plasma O 2 , H 2 O, NO 2 , NO, CO 2 , H 2 O 2 , or a combination thereof. 8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in Chemical Formula 2, R 4 is a methyl group. 9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lanthanum compound includes one or more compounds represented by the following chemical formulas:
