Abstrakt: We investigate the adsorption and thermal decomposition of triphenyl bismuth (TPB) on the silicon (001) surface using atomic-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy, synchrotron-based X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. Our results show that the adsorption of TPB at room temperature creates both bismuth-silicon and phenyl-silicon bonds. Annealing above room temperature leads to increased chemical interactions between the phenyl groups and the silicon surface, followed by phenyl detachment and bismuth subsurface migration. The thermal decomposition of the carbon fragments leads to the formation of silicon carbide at the surface. This chemical understanding of the process allows for controlled bismuth introduction into the near surface of silicon and opens pathways for ultra-shallow doping approaches.
