Classes of liquid aminosilanes have been found which allow for the production of silicon carbo-nitride films of the general formula Si x C y N z . These aminosilanes, in contrast, to some of the precursors employed heretofore, are liquid at room temperature and pressure allowing for convenient handling. In addition, the invention relates to a process for producing such films. n The classes of compounds are generally represented by the formulas: n n n n n n n n n n and mixtures thereof, wherein R and R 1 in the formulas represent aliphatic groups typically having from 2 to about 10 carbon atoms, e.g., alkyl, cycloalkyl with R and R 1 in formula A also being combinable into a cyclic group, and R 2 representing a single bond, (CH 2 ) n , a ring, or SiH 2 . |
