โฆ Synopsis
Mass spectrometry has been employed as a diagnostic tool to investigate the decomposition of the (methylcyclopentadienyl)allyl-platinum complexes used as precursors for metallo-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) of platinum film. Measurements were performed either under electron ionization or electrospray ionization conditions. Both techniques indicate the Pt-allyl bond as being the weakest and the high stability of the Pt-methylcyclopentadienyl cation. Under electrospray conditions easy formation of platinum clusters is observed; most of them still contain one or more methylcyclopentadienyl species, thus giving a possible explanation of the undesired carbon-containing species sometimes present in the MOCVD-generated platinum film.
