Dissociative NH3 adsorption on the Si(100)2 × 1 surface at 300 K

Larsson, Christer LU and Flodström, Anders (1991) In Surface Science 241(3). p.353-356
Abstract
High resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy has been used to determine how NH3 adsorbs on the Si(100)2 × 1 surface at 300 K. We find that the NH3 molecules dissociate into NH2 and H on adsorption. Combination bands, overtones and double losses for the Si---NH2 group are observed. An anneal to 800 K is sufficient to dissociate the adsorbed NH2 groups while the majority of the Si---H bonds remain intact. An anneal to 1100 K is enough to break the Si-H bonds and start the formation of silicon nitride.
