Abstract

The low pressure pyrolysis of alkylmetals on conducting, semiconducting and non-conducting surfaces was studied using multiphoton and electron ionization analysis. No products of surface radical recombination (such as CH//4 and C//2H//6) could be seen under the conditions employed. The activation energy for gas phase methyl radical production is 30 kcal/mol for trimethylgallium compared with 13 plus or minus 2 kcal/mol observed for trimethylaluminum decomposition. A deposition mechanism is proposed.
