Abstract

Dissociative adsorption of monomethylsilane (MMS), a promising precursor gas for low-temperature SiC, has been investigated on Si(100) by using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) method after its comparison with H/ and C2H2/Si(100) surfaces. For both MMS/ and C2H2/Si(100), the β1 peak from SiH species showed a shift to higher temperatures in the presence of surface C atoms, while two new peaks appeared separately for the two gases: γ peak (approximately 640 °C) for the C2H2/ and δ peak (approximately 870 °C) for the MMS/Si(100). The γ peak is suggested to be from hydrogen desorption from SiH species at which a C atom is inserted to its backbond. The δ peak is related to desorption from surface CHx species. The absence of the γ peak on MMS/Si(100) suggests absence of atomic exchange between surface C and substrate Si atoms on its adsorption.
