Description
Summary:Metal alkyls have been the targets of increased research interest as possible precursors for vapor-phase deposition of metal atoms and alloys. In particular, many of these compounds have potential uses as precursors for dopants in semiconductors, for building microstructures on silicon and other surfaces, and for growing binary semiconductors. Dimethyl selenide photofragmentation by means of two-photon excitation through the structured, but dissociative, B{sup 1}A{sub 1} state has been studied via multiphoton-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, UV spectrophotometry, and 2 + 1 REMPI. Atomic resonances indicating the formation of Se atoms were observed, and the formation of these atoms appeared to result from competitive dissociation channels. One of these channels involved the neutral fragmentation of the parent molecule followed by ionization of the fragments, while the second was characterized by direct ionization of the dimethyl selenide with subsequent fragmentation. Estimates of the rate constants for these processes were obtained from model calculations.
