1. A method of depositing a metal-containing film on a substrate comprising the steps of:

  • a) conveying one or more organometallic compounds of formula I in a gaseous phase to a deposition chamber containing a substrate, embedded image wherein M is Ge;

    R1 and R2 are independently chosen from H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl and aryl;

    each R3 is independently chosen from n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, cyclopentyl, hexyl, cyclohexyl, alkenyl, alkynyl and aryl, provided that none of R3 is cyclopentadienyl;

    each R4 is independently chosen from (C3-C12)alkyl;

    X is halogen;

    a=0-3;

    b=0-3;

    c=0-3;

    d=0-2;

    e=0-4; and

    a+b+c+d+e=4;

    wherein B3

    R4;

    wherein the sums of a+b and a+d are each ≦

    3;

    b) decomposing the one or more organometallic compounds in the deposition chamber; and

    c) depositing a metal-containing film comprising germanium on the substrate.
