Abstract

The Co(N’acN’ac)2 complex, namely bis(2-methylamino-4-methyliminato-penten) cobalt(II), was for the first time used as a precursor for producing Co films via metal–organic chemical vapour deposition. This chelate exhibits good volatility ln (P/P°) = 26·45–14006·7/T(K) at moderate temperature values (382–427 K). Co films were grown on Si (100) substrates and studied by X-ray diffraction, extended X-ray absorption fine structure, atomic force and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and optical profilometry. Deposition conditions corresponding to the optimal electrical and magnetic characteristics of Co thin films are found.

Acknowledgment

The Co films were deposited using a MOCVD apparatus we have modified under the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation Agreement No 14. 604.21.0080 from 30 june 2014, personal identifier ASI RFMEFI60414X0081.
