B. Chansou et al., CP(2)TICH(2)SI(ME(2))NSIME(3) - A SINGLE-SOURCE PRECURSOR TO TITANIUM-BASED CERAMIC THIN-FILMS BY CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION, Applied organometallic chemistry, 11(3), 1997, pp. 195-203
The four-membered-ring heterocyclic molecule Cp(2)TiCH(2)Si(Me(2))NSiM
e(3) (1; C-p = eta - C5H5) was studied as a single-source precursor to
titanium-based ceramic thin films, Its decomposition was studied at a
tmospheric and low pressure under nitrogen, argon and helium by TG-DTA
-MS, Thin films containing the four elements of the metallacycle and o
xygen were deposited on silicon substrates by low-pressure (20 Torr) c
hemical vapor deposition (CVD) between 773 and 923 K. Films were chara
cterized by SEM-EDS, XPS, EPMA-WDS and XRD analyses. (C) 1997 by John
