Herein, we give our perspective on a class of precursors with metals from groups 11-14 and lanthanoids surrounded by the 1,3-dialkyltriazenide ligands and their use in CVD and ALD. These new triazenide precursors are easy to synthesise, purify and derivatise ligand steric bulk. The group 13 have demonstrated ALD of both semiconductor and conductor materials, with several others reported but not yet deployed in a deposition process. We believe that we have only seen a fraction of the potential of the triazenide precursors, and we hope that this perspective can stimulate more research on their deposition chemistry.
