Abstract

A method of forming (and an apparatus for forming) a metal containing layer on a substrate, particularly a semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly for use in manufacturing a semiconductor or memory device structure, using one or more homoleptic and/or heteroleptic precursor compounds that include, for example, guanidinate, phosphoguanidinate, isoureate, thioisoureate, and/or selenoisoureate ligands using a vapor deposition process is provided.
