General description

Bis(ethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium(II) is a organometallic compound widely used as a catalyst and as a precursor for thin-film deposition. It is valued for its high thermal stability, volatility, and efficiency in atomic layer deposition (ALD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes to create high-purity ruthenium and ruthenium oxide films. This compound plays a crucial role in microelectronics, catalysis, and energy materials.

Application

Bis(ethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium can be used:
  • A precursor to synthesize ruthenium films via the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method.
  • A precursor to synthesize ruthenium thin films on substrates such as SiO2 via plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) method.
  • A metal-organic precursor in the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process to deposit ruthenium (Ru) thin films suitable for applications like capacitor electrodes in microelectronics.
  • A precursor to prepare ultrathin ruthenium (Ru) films via the atomic layer deposition (ALD) and selective etching techniques.

Features and Benefits

Bis(ethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium(II) exhibits:
  • High Volatility: Suitable for gas-phase delivery in Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD).
  • Thermal Stability: Stable under typical ALD/CVD processing temperatures
