Abstract

The kinetics of SiCl4 adsorption on Si(lll) 7×7 were studied using laser induced thermal desorption (LITD) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) techniques. The initial reactive sticking coefficient of SiCl4 on Si(lll) 7×7 was observed to decrease with increasing surface temperature. This decrease was consistent with a precursor-mediated adsorption model. Both LITD and TPD experiments monitored SiCl2 as the main desorption product. These results suggest that SiC12 may be the stable chlorine species on the Si(lll) 7×7 surface.
