Description
| Packaging | 10, 20 g in ss cyl |
| Features and Benefits | Precursor to silicon carbide or alloy thin films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). |
| Methylsilane is used in the plasma-assisted CVD of silicon carbide (SiC) and as a precursor to the epitaxial growth of SiGeC alloy layers via rapid thermal CVD.1 Recent developments include the use of methylsilane as a precursor to silicon-carbon-hydrogen polymer used as photoresists. | |
| Recommended products | Stainless steel regulators Z527416 or Z527424 are recommended. |
