摘要

The initial reaction mechanism of atomic layer deposited TiO₂ thin film on the silicon surface using Cp*Ti(OCH₃)₃ as the metal precursor has been investigated by using the density functional theory. We find that Cp*Ti(OCH₃)₃ adsorbed state can be formed via the hydrogen bonding interaction between CH₃O ligands and the SiOH sites, which is in good agreement with the quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS) experimental observations. Moreover, the desorption of adsorbed Cp*Ti(OCH₃)₃ is favored in the thermodynamic equilibrium state. The elimination reaction of CH₃OH can occur more readily than that of Cp*H during the Cp*Ti(OCH ₃)₃ pulse. This conclusion is also confirmed by the QMS experimental results.
