Liquid precursor for formation of materials containing alkali metals
Technology:
Reagents
Markets Addressed
This process may be used to deposit lithium niobate films having non-linear optical properties.
Innovations and Advantages
Volatile liquid precursors (reagents) have been developed for the formation of alkali metal-containing materials using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), spray coating, spin coating or sol-gel deposition processes. The liquid precursors comprise alkali metal amides. Films containing alkali metals are deposited from vapors of the precursor liquids and, optionally, oxygen or other sources of oxygen.
