Abstract
The present invention involves the use of organocalcium precursors for the chemical vapor deposition of thin CaF.sub.2 films under exceptionally mild conditions. This method is based on utilizing an organocalcium compound and a source of fluorine in a chemical vapor deposition reaction to form CaF.sub.2.
