[摘要]：The thermal chemistry of copper(I)-N'-di-sec-butylacetamidinate on Ni(110) single-crystal and cobalt poly-crystalline surfaces was characterized under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). A complex network of reactions were identified, starting with the dissociative adsorption of the precursor, from its dimeric form in its free state to a monomer once bonded to the nickel surface. The dissociation of a C-N bond in the acetamidinate ligand at similar to 200 K leads to the formation of adsorbed 2-butene and N-sec-butylacetamidinate. Some of the latter intermediates hydrogenate around 300 K to release N-sec-butylacetamidine into the gas phase, while the remaining adsorbed species dissociate further around 400 K, as the copper atoms become reduced to a metallic state, possibly to form acetonitrile and a sec-butylamido surface species that reacts further at 485 K to release 2-butene. By 800 K, only copper and a small amount of carbon can be seen on the surface by XPS. The implications of this chemistry to the growth of metal films by atomic layer deposition (ALD) are discussed. |
