Decomposition Kinetics and Film Foundation of an Organometallic Precursor to SiC on Si(100)
Abstract
The absorption and decomposition kinetics of the SiC precursor (CH3Si(H)mu(CH2)2Si(CH3) CH2SiH2CH3) have been studied on the Si(100) surface using a combination of molecular beam mass spectrometry and Auger electron spectroscopy. The intact precursor adsorbs with a heat of adsorption of about 10 kcal/mol. The decomposition rate becomes measurable at about 800 K, and increases with increasing temperatures. The resulting films are stoichiometric, polycrystalline SiC, with partial epitaxial orientation relative to the substrate. Keywords: Silicon carbide, Organometallic precursor, Silicon.
