Process for the generation of thin inorganic films

Abstract

The present invention is in the field of processes for the generation of thin inorganic films on substrates, in particular atomic layer deposition processes. In particular, the present invention relates to a process comprising bringing a compound of general formula (I) into the gaseous or aerosol state Ln . . . M . . . Xm (I) and depositing the compound of general formula (I) from the gaseous or aerosol state onto a solid substrate, wherein M is a metal, L is a ligand which coordinates to M and contains at least one phosphorus-carbon multiple bond, wherein L contains a phosphorus-containing heterocyclic ring or a phosphorus-carbon triple bond, X is a ligand which coordinates to M, n is 1 to 5, and m is 0 to 5.
