Studies of thermal decomposition process of Ag(I) perfluorinated carboxylates with temperature variable IR and MS

Gas Phase Study of Systems for the CVD of Silver

“…Silver-containing fragments at 379 u (Ag 2 O 2 CC 2 F 5 ) and a variety of other masses could be observed, confirming that the vapor comprises several dimeric species, as reported previously. [20] Substance 2 decomposes completely, during evaporation and while being transported through the gas lines, according to Equation 1.…”

“…[17] Silver deposition experiments using (VTES)Ag(hfac) (VTES = vinyltriethylsilane) and (BTMSA)Ag(hfac) (BTMSA= bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene) have also been reported. [18,19] The thermal decompo- [20] Recently, silver films have been grown from silver pivalate precursors by applying a flash evaporation CVD technique as an alternative delivery strategy, however, the precursor possesses a low thermal stability and the films exhibited a highly non-uniform thickness. [21,22] Furthermore excellent results were achieved in a warm-wall reactor using [(COD)Ag(hfac)] (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene).…”

Facile preparation of copper nitride powders and nanostructured films

“…The advantages of using this fluorinated ligand are two-fold: first, previous studies have indicated that the volatility of Ag(C 2 F 5 COO) and Ag(C 3 F 7 COO) under nitrogen is such that they can decompose at low temperatures via well-defined pathways to yield high purity products. 28 Therefore, this type of compound has found application in chemical vapour deposition (CVD) processes. 29,30 Given the standard enthalpy of formation for Cu 3 N (DH f = 74.5 kJ mol À1 ), 31 it is vital to perform ammonolysis under a strict temperature regime.…”

Realizing metal and quantum dot containing patterns by two-photon lithography

“…Monovalent fluorinated and non-flourinated carboxylate salts of silver are considered to be good for depositing silver layers through thermal reduction because of their low thermal decomposition. 14,15 The TPA dye acts as a sensitizer and interacts with the laser to get excited. Upon de-excitation it transfers its energy to the photoacid generator (PAG).…”
