The invention provides a facile process for preparing various Group VI precursor compounds useful in the vapor deposition of such Group VI metals onto solid substrates, especially microelectronic semiconductor device substrates. The process provides an effective means to obtain such volatile materials, which can then be sources of molybdenum, chromium, or tungsten-containing materials to be deposited on such substrates. Additionally, the invention provides a method for vapor deposition of such compounds onto microelectronic device substrates.

Methods of forming a transition metal containing film on a substrate by a cyclical deposition process are disclosed. The methods may include: contacting the substrate with a first vapor phase reactant comprising a transition metal halide compound comprising a bidentate nitrogen containing adduct ligand; and contacting the substrate with a second vapor phase reactant comprising a reducing agent precursor. The deposition methods may also include forming a transition metal containing film with an electrical resistivity of less than 50 μΩ-cm at a film thickness of less than 50 nanometers.
