Radical chain reaction of methyltrichlorosilane with hydrogen and its role in chemical vapor deposition of stoichiometric SiC films by Hao-Chen Liu, Guan-Hong Chou, Bo-Sheng Lee, Yu-Hsun Cheng, Jyh-Chiang Jiang, Lu-Sheng Hong

“…By employing density functional theory calculations to compare the energy barriers of plausible reaction pathways with the experimental activation energy values derived from film growth rate data, we found that the first step of the stepwise reaction is most plausibly the gas-phase reaction of MTS, which dissociates HCl to form 1,1-dichlorosilaethylene (CH2SiCl2) as the first intermediate species to correspond a sticking probability of 4.6 × 10–4. …”
