Fluorine-containing materials and processes

摘要

Chemical precursors that contain carbon atoms and fluorine atoms can be activated under a variety of conditions to deposit fluorine-containing materials. Chemical precursors of the formula (F3C)4-m-nMXmRn, are preferred, wherein M is Si or Ge; X is halogen; R is H or D; m is 0, 1, 2 or 3; and n is 0, 1, 2, or 3; with the proviso that (m+n)<=3.
