Abstract
Alumosiloxanes [Al(OSiMe3)3]2, (Me3SiO)2Al[OSi(OBu-t)3], [(acac)Al(OSiMe3)2]2, (Ox)Al[OSi(OBu-t)3]2, (Me=CH3 ; Bu-t= t-C4H9 ; acac = C5H7O2 ; Ox = C9H6NO) have been synthesized and their thermal properties have been studied by thermogravimetric analysis in Ar over the temperature range of 25-500°C. The compounds [Al(OSiMe3)3]2 and [(acac)Al(OSiMe3)2]2 showed substantial volatility during heating regardless of their dimeric structures in the solid state ; while the other compounds were largely decomposed under the same conditions. Therefore, [Al(OSiMe3)3]2 and [(acac)Al(OSiMe3)2]2 have been chosen as prospective precursors for the MOCVD of aluminosilicate coatings. Investigation of these compounds by laser mass-spectrometry (laser excitation at 355nm) has shown that the decomposition pathway proceeds through the formation of a number of heavy species originating from dimeric [>Al(OSi)2>Al<] fragments of [Al(OSiMe3)3]2 and [(acac)Al(OSiMe3)2]2 molecules and silicon-containing light species of m/z 52 (C2Si) and 55(C2H3Si) originating from OSiMe3 ligands. Initial experiments have been carried out on the deposition of aluminosilicate coatings on silicon carbide from the precursors described.
