Abstract

Reactive molecular beam scattering techniques with mass spectrometric detection have been used to characterize the kinetics and mechanism of the decomposition of two 1,3-disilacyclobutane precursors to SiC on the Si(100) surface to yield SiC and gas-phase byproducts. Both compounds adsorb and desorb without dissociation at ambient temperature. Reaction probability increases with increasing surface temperature to a maximum exceeding 0.8 at 1100 K. Both compounds yield large quantities of gas-phase intermediates, while only one produces a significant yield of SiC in the initial collision. In situ and ex situ analysis of the SiC film indicate that it is stoichiometric SiC. A combination of mass spectrometric detection with time of flight analysis of surface reaction products permits formulation of a reaction scheme involving a multistep surface decomposition sequence.
