Abstract

A novel technique for probing chemical vapor deposition reaction mechanisms is presented. A conventional hot-wall Pyrex reactor is coupled to a molecular beam apparatus. Preliminary results of the decomposition of an organometallic precursor to AIN, [AI(CH3)2NH2]3, indicate a decomposition temperature between 200 and 270°C. The mass spectrum of the precursor at 100°C provides evidence for the existence of a trimer-dimer equilibrium of the precursor at this temperature
