Abstract

The present invention provides organometallic compounds and methods of forming thin films including using the same. The organometallic compounds include a metal and a ligand linked to the metal. The ligand can be represented by the following formula (1):wherein R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen or an alkyl group. The thin films may be applied to semiconductor structures such as a gate insulation layer of a gate structure and a dielectric layer of a capacitor.
