Popis: We have investigated in-situ the adsorption and thermal decomposition of methylsilanes, SiH x (CH 3 ) 4− x ( x =1–3), on Si(100)(2×1), using infrared absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) in the multiple internal reflection geometry. IRAS spectra revealed that at initial stages of adsorption, monohydride (–SiH) and CH 3 -substituted hydride species (–SiH x (CH 3 ) 3− x ) are generated with monohydride species being dominant. We suggest that upon room temperature adsorption of methylsilanes, breaking of the SiH bonds of methylsilane is favored over that of the SiC bonds. It is found that the dissociative adsorption of SiH 3 (CH 3 ) exhibits the second-order kinetics. Due to thermal annealing, surface species –SiH x (CH 3 ) 3− x are thermally decomposed to generate surface SiH and SiC bonds, and subsequently H 2 desorption from the SiH bonds occurs.
