R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are each independently a C1 to C5 alkyl group, at least one of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 being a branched C3 to C5 alkyl group in which at least one hydrogen atom is substituted with a fluorine atom,

M is a niobium atom, a tantalum atom, or a vanadium atom,

X is a halogen atom,

m is an integer of 3 to 5, and

n is 1 or 2.

2. The organometallic adduct compound as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in General formula (I):

M is a niobium atom or a tantalum atom, and

X is a fluorine atom or a chlorine atom.

3. The organometallic adduct compound as claimed in claim 1 , wherein R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are each independently a hexafluoroisopropyl group or a nonafluoro tert-butyl group.

4. The organometallic adduct compound as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in General formula (I), m is 5, and n is 1.

5. The organometallic adduct compound as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in General formula (I):

13. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein, in General formula (I), m is 5, and n is 1.

14. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein forming the metal-containing film includes:

supplying the organometallic adduct compound of General formula (I) onto the substrate; and

supplying a reactive gas onto the substrate.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the reactive gas includes NH 3 , N 2 plasma, an organic amine compound, a hydrazine compound, or a combination thereof.

16. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the reactive gas includes O 2 , O 3 , O 2 plasma, H 2 O, NO 2 , NO, N 2 O, CO, CO 2 , H 2 O 2 , HCOOH, CH 3 COOH, (CH 3 CO) 2 O, an alcohol, a peroxide, sulfur oxide, or a combination thereof.
