Received: 2 August 2020; Accepted: 20 August 2020; Published: 24 August 2020 Abstract: A search of the recent literature reveals that there is a continuous growth of scientific publications on the development of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes for silicon carbide (SiC) films and their promising applications in micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) devices. In recent years, considerable effort has been devoted to deposit high-quality SiC films on large areas enabling the low-cost fabrication methods of MEMS/NEMS sensors. The relatively high temperatures involved in CVD SiC growth are a drawback and studies have been made to develop low-temperature CVD processes. In this respect, atomic layer deposition (ALD), a modified CVD process promising for nanotechnology fabrication techniques, has attracted attention due to the deposition of thin films at low temperatures and additional benefits, such as excellent uniformity, conformability, good reproducibility, large area, and batch capability. This review article focuses on the recent advances in the strategies for the CVD of SiC films, with a special emphasis on low-temperature processes, as well as ALD. In addition, we summarize the applications of CVD SiC films in MEMS/NEMS devices and prospects for advancement of the CVD SiC technology.

Newkome ______________________________ ______________________________ Committee Member Date Dr. George G. Chase ______________________________ Committee Member Dr. Chrys Wesdemiotis ii ABSTRACT Siloxanes have been extensively used as additives to modulate surface properties such as surface tension, hydrophobicity/hydrophobicity, and adhesion, etc. Although, polydimethyl -siloxane and polydiphenylsiloxane are the most commonly used siloxanes, the properties are at extremes in terms of glass transition temperature and flexibility. It is proposed that the ability to control the properties in between the these extremes can be provided by cycloaliphatic substitutions at the siloxane backbone. It is expected that this substitution might work due to the intermediate backbone rigidity. In order to achieve the above objectives, a synthetic route was developed to prepare cycloaliphatic (cyclopentane and cyclohexane) silane monomers followed by subsequent polymerization and functionalizations to obtain glycidyl epoxy, aliphatic amine and methacrylate telechelic siloxanes. The siloxanes were either thermally or UV- cured depending on end functionalizations. Chemical characterization of monomers, oligomers and polymers were performed using 1H, 13C, 29Si-NMR, FT-IR and GPC.

  • Grignard Reagents and Silanes
    GRIGNARD REAGENTS AND SILANES By B. Arkles REPRINTED FROM HANDBOOK OF GRIGNARD REAGENTS by G. Silverman and P. Rakita Pages 667-675 Marcel Dekker, 1996 Gelest, Inc. 612 William Leigh Drive Tullytown, Pa. 19007-6308 Phone: [215] 547-1015 Fax: [215] 547-2484 Grignard Reagents and Silanes 32 Grignard Reagents and Silanes BARRY ARKLES Gelest Inc., Tullytown, Pennsylvania I. INTRODUCTION This review considers two aspects of the interaction of Grignards with silanes. First, focusing on technologies that are still viable within the context of current organosilane and silicone technology, guidelines are provided for silicon-carbon bond formation using Grignard chemistry. Second, the use of silane-blocking agents and their stability in the presence of Grignard reagents employed in organic synthesis is discussed. II. FORMATION OF THE SILICON-CARBON BOND A. Background The genesis of current silane and silicone technology traces back to the Grignard reaction. The first practical synthesis of organosilanes was accomplished by F. Stanley Kipping in 1904 by the Grignard reaction for the formation of the silicon-carbon bond [1]. In an effort totaling 57 papers, he created the basis of modern organosilane chemistry. The development of silicones by Frank Hyde at Corning was based on the hydrolysis of Grignard-derived organosilanes [2]. Dow Corning, the largest manufacturer of silanes and silicones, was formed as a joint venture between Corning Glass, which had silicone product technology, and Dow, which had magnesium and Grignard technology, during World War II. In excess of 10,000 silicon compounds have been synthesized by Grignard reactions. Ironically, despite the versatility of Grignard chemistry for the formation of silicon-carbon bonds, its use in current silane and silicone technology has been supplanted by more efficient and selective processes for the formation of the silicon-carbon bond, notably by the direct process and hydrosilylation reactions.

The process comprises contacting a mixture comprising methyltrichlorosilane and dimethyldichlorosilane with activated carbon, where the methyltrichlorosilane is selectively adsorbed by the activated carbon. The proc- ess allows for the recovery of a dimethyldichlorosilane fraction reduced in methyltrichlorosilane concentration. The methyltrichlorosilane is recovered by desorption from the activated carbon. The present process is espe- cially useful for removing low levels of methyltrichlorosi- lane present as a contaminate in dimethyldichloro- silane. < CM O <7> CO r»- o Q_ LU Printed by Rank Xerox (UK) Business Services 2.14.7/3.4 EP 0 776 902 A1 Description The present invention is a process for separating methyltrichlorosilane from dimethyldichlorosilane in a mixture.

Sci. xx (2004) xxx–xxx www.elsevier.com/locate/ppolysci Oligo- and polysilo xanes Yoshimoto Abe*, Takahiro Gunji Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Science, 2641 Yamazaki, Noda, Chiba 278-8510, Japan Received 14 January 2003; revised 5 August 2003; accepted 21 August 2003 Abstract The article reviews the work on the synthesis, properties, and structure of curious oligo- and polysiloxanes which have been done mainly by the authors, referring the related papers. So far as oligosiloxanes, the topic is especially focused on sila- functional siloxanes as the building block for the synthesis of ladder or cube oligosiloxanes, while the another is the polysiloxanes derived from silicic acid and trimethoxysilanes RSi(OMe)3 which are able to form fibers and flexible free- standing films. The review also refers to the new routes for the selective synthesis of sila-functional oligosiloxanes in addition to the reaction control based on the relative reactivity of sila-functional groups. Finally, the application of polysiloxanes as the precursors to ceramics, high performance coatings, and interlayer low dielectric materials are described. q 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
