The copper precursor N,N'-diisopropylacetamidinate has been decomposed at low temperature (80-110°C) in a liquid process under a moderate H2 pressure. Depending on the choice of the solvent, the process leads to a colloidal solution of well controlled copper nanoparticles or the deposition of composite Cu-SiO2 films on the surfaces. The latter layer is highly adhesive to silica surface, behaves as an active seed layer for electroless copper deposition and allows a conformal covering inside deep trenches.
