H. Schumann et al., SYNTHESIS, X-RAY STRUCTURE AND APPLICATION OF BIS[ALLYLAMINE(DIMETHYL)GALLIUM(III)] AS A PRECURSOR FOR THE GROWTH OF GAP LAYERS BY MOVPE, Advanced materials, 6(10), 1994, pp. 768-772
Gallium precursors for the growth of gallium-based materials from the
vapor phase still need to be improved in terms of their safety and han
dling properties, especially with respect to their pyrophoricity, air
and moisture sensitivity, and toxicity. A new gallium precursor is rep
orted, the first diorganogalliumamine, which exhibits a more favorable
safety profile, and its use in the preparation of N-doped GaP is disc
ussed.
