Abstract
The low-energy Cs+ reactive scattering and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used in studying the initial formation of silicon carbide by the interaction of 1,3-disilabutane (DSB) with the Si(111) surface. The combination of these two methods was used to identify qualitatively the adspecies in the intermediate states during decomposition of DSB and to characterized the binding energies and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of their possible peaks. The results of the intensity variations of Si(2p) and total C(1s) peaks and analysis by curve fitting of C(1s) peaks suggest that one C2H8Si2 adspecies makes only one Ch4Si adspecies by breakage of the central C-Si bond rather than two adspecies.
