摘要
We report results from an investigation into the nature and extent of carbon incorporation into aluminum oxide thin films deposited from the pyrolysis of dimethylaluminum isopropoxide via high-vacuum chemical vapor deposition. The chemical nature and distribution of carbon in films deposited in the 417-659 degrees C temperature range were investigated through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. Carbon composition increased with increasing deposition temperature, up to approximately 8 at.% at 659 degrees C. Carbon in films deposited at 477 degrees C was bonded only to oxygen or carbon, but films deposited above 538 degrees C also contained metal carbide-like bonding. Carbon content in films deposited on hydrogen-terminated Si (100) substrates increased toward the film-substrate interface, but no silicon-carbon bonding was observed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
