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.

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.

For combustion research, the thermal decomposition of benzyl radical, n- alkanes CnH2n+2 (n = 5-8 and 10), 1-butyl radical, and 1-pentyl radical was performed. Benzyl was confirmed to decompose primarily by ejection of H atom after significant isomerization with loss of methyl observed as a minor decomposition pathway.

The process provides for the recovery of a meth- yltrichlorosilane fraction reduced in dimethyldichloro- silane concentration. The present process is especially useful for removing low levels of dimethyldichlorosilane present as a contaminate in methyltrichlorosilane. < O <7> CO o Q_ LU Printed by Rank Xerox (UK) Business Services 2.14.7/3.4 EP 0 776 901 A1 Description The present invention is a process for separating dimethyldichlorosilane from methyltrichlorosilane in a mixture. The process comprises contacting a mixture comprising methyltrichlorosilane and dimethyldichlorosilane with silica gel, 5 where the dimethyldichlorosilane is selectively retained by the silica gel.

Harmful by inhalation. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Highly flammable. 1 of 19 POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS SWALLOWED • The material can produce chemical burns within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract following ingestion. • The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects following ingestion (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, adverse systemic effects have been produced following exposure of animals by at least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum. • Ingestion of acidic corrosives may produce burns around and in the mouth. the throat and esophagus. Immediate pain and difficulties in swallowing and speaking may also be evident. Swelling of the epiglottis may make it difficult to breathe which may result in suffocation. More severe exposure may result in vomiting blood and thick mucus, shock, abnormally low blood pressure, fluctuating pulse, shallow respiration and clammy skin, inflammation of stomach wall, and rupture of esophageal tissue.
