Tris(cyclopentadienyl)cerium CeCp3 (Ce(CPD)) has been evaluated as potential dopant source in ALE) and CVD of Ce-doped strontium sulfide (SrS:Ce) for thin-film electroluminescent display applications. XPS, TOF-SIMS in situ studies showed that within the typical thermal budget used in ALE and CVD of SrS:Ce films, Ce(CPD) decomposed more efficiently than tetrakis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)cerium Ce(thd)4, resulting in reduced hydrocarbon-based surface contamination and a cleaner Ce phase.

Cerium tris(trimethylsilylcyclopentadienyl) Ce(Me3Si-C5H4)3 sublimes at 60°C/10-3 torr and potentially can be applied as cerium MOCVD precursor.[[i]]
