Abstract

A method including applying an electric charge to a substrate in a chamber; introducing an organometallic substituent into the chamber, the organometallic substituent including a metal ligand and an organic ligand; and depositing a metal film by reducing the metal ligand of the organometallic substituent. A method including applying a removable electric charge to a substrate; in the presence of the applied electric charge, introducing an organometallic substituent into the chamber, the organometallic substituent including a metal ligand and an organic ligand; and depositing a metal film by reducing the metal ligand of the organometallic substituent. A method including introducing an organometallic substituent into the chamber, the organometallic substituent including a metal ligand and an organic ligand; and depositing a metal film by reducing the metal ligand of the organometallic substituent with an externally applied electric charge.
