Why NH3 on Si(111)7x7 ? Si3N4 ! ! ! Ammonia has been the most frequently used nitrogen source in chemical vapor deposition(CVD) growth. The structural quality and the chemical stability of the silicon nitride (Si3N4) films are crucial in various industrial applications like as metal-oxide semiconductor devices. The complex Si(111)7x7 reconstruction, which displays a variety of surface sites, provides the opportunity to study the effect of local electronic structure modification.
Purpose of the study Find out the different adsorption and dissociation pathways of NH3 on the surfaces between Si(100) and Si(111). Discover detail information about site-selective NH3reaction with Si(111)7x7. NH3 -> NH2 + H NH2 -> NH + H Si3N4 ?
