Abstract

LPCVD thin films of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) were grown using tertbutyllithium (t-BuLi) and cyclopentadienyl cobalt dicarbonyl (CoCp(CO)2) as precursors in a cold-walled vertical reactor. Deposition rates were found to be as high as 25 A/s. Lithium to cobalt ratios (Li/Co) in the films were found to increase with increasing Ar carrier gas flow rates in the t-BuLi line while they were found to decrease with increasing system pressure. Electrochemical measurements show typical film open circuit voltages (OCV) for as-prepared films to be between 3.30 and 3.60 V vs. Li. Atomic Force Microscopy shows a striated, crystalline film formed at substrate temperatures (Ts) as low as 400 C with grain sizes as large as 200 nm in length.
