“…They included dimethylsilane, Me 2 SiH 2 , [6,9] trimethylsilane, Me 3 SiH, [6,9] hexamethyldisilane, (Me 3 Si) 2 , [3,5,6,[9][10][11][12] tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)silane, (Me 3 Si) 4 Si, [2,[4][5][6]9] and (dimethylsilyl)(trimethylsilyl)methane, Me 3 SiCH 2 SiHMe 2 . [6,9,13,14] The present work deals with the fabrication of a-SiC:H films by RHP-CVD using triethylsilane, Et 3 SiH, (TrES) as the single-source precursor. TrES was chosen due to the following features.…”
