This paper reports on the use of a novel copper(I) amidinate compound [Cu(i-Pr-MeAMD)] 2 to produce copper films in conventional low pressure CVD using hydrogen as reducing gasreagent. Copper films were deposited on steel, silicon and SiO 2 /Si substrates. Their composition, morphology, conductivity and growth rate were investigated in the temperature range 200 -350 °C at total pressure of 10 Torr. XRD and EPMA confirmed that the films are composed of polycrystalline copper metal without carbon and nitrogen impurities.
