Abstract

The deposition of Aluminum on Si(100) surface has been investigated using density functional methods. This has been accomplished by adoption of a Si9H16 cluster to model the H terminated Si(100) 1XI surface and Si9H15 cluster to model the surface with an unpaired electron. The predicted NLSD dissociation energy for the Si9H16 → Si9H15 + H is 86.3 ± 2.0 Kcal/Mol. This is in agreement with previous theoretical calculations on similar systems.
