Abstract
A dimeric precursor, [Cu(dmae)(OCOCH3)(H2O)]2 for the CVD of copper metal films, (dmaeH = N,Ndimethylaminoethanol) was synthesized by the reaction of copper(II) acetate monohydrate (Cu(OCOCH3)2·H2O) and dmaeH in toluene. The product was characterized by m.p. determination, elemental analysis and Xray crystallography. Molecular structure of [Cu(dmae)(OCOCH3)(H2O)]2 shows that a dimeric unit [Cu(dmae)(OCOCH3)(H2O)]2 is linked to another through hydrogen bond and it undergoes facile decomposition at 300 °C to deposit granular copper metal film under nitrogen atmosphere. The decomposition temperature, thermal behaviour, kinetic parameters, evolved gas pattern of the complex, morphology, and the composition of the film were also investigated.
