ABSTRACTNew mechanistic details regarding aluminum deposition by ArF excimer laser photodecomposition of trimethylaluminum (TMA) adsorbed on aluminum covered SiO 2/Si substrates have been obtained using a time-of-flight quadrupole mass spectrometer. CH3 radicals and Al-(CH3)n (n = 1,2,3) species are efficiently photoejected from the surface with up to 0.22 eV of translational energy. Experiments at various TMA dosing levels reveal differences in desorbed fragment translational energy presumably associated with variations in surface site binding energy. No direct evidence is found for desorption of A1 from the surface indicating that A1 is more tightly bound than methyl-aluminum fragments. By carefully monitoring changes in fragment translational energy as an A1 deposit forms on the clean SiO2/Si substrate, we examine how the surface influences the onset of A1 growth. No evidence of ethane or methane desorption from the sample surface is found implying that radical recombination and hydrogen abstraction are primarily secondary gas phase reactions which are not surface initiated.

The main goal of chemical reaction dynamics is to unravel the intimate motions of individual atoms during a chemical transformation. This information must generally be inferred from indirect macroscopic measurement. Very important information such as translational energy dependence of the reaction cross-section, vibrational mode-specific promotion of reactivity, product angular and velocity distributions are normally extracted. Understanding how these chemical reactions occur at the microscopic level gives us a better insight in understanding reactive intermediates and products of reaction. For a better understanding of the elementary chemical reactions, it is imperative that the studies are performed under well-defined laboratory conditions. Over the last few decades, the field has witnessed unprecedented advances in both experiment and theory. Advancements in generating reactants, state selection, improvement of crossed-molecular beam machines and products detection have gone a long way to improve our ability in studying chemical reactions in the gas phase. In 1986, Hershbach,[1] Lee[2] , and Polayni[3] together shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on the dynamics of gas phase reactions.
