Silicon oxide reaction with

Investigation of mechanisms of reactions catalyzed by titanium silicates has been limited to oxidation reactions with H202 as the oxidant, as described below. As was previously discussed, elements different from titanium and silicon in the catalyst materials change their properties. Catalytic activity of doubly substituted materials such as Ti-beta, H[Al,Ti]-MFI and -MEL, and H[Fe,Ti]-MFI and -MEL is considered separately because the acidic properties associated with the added element affect the composition of the reaction products. 

Optically active thiazolidine -oxides (259) undergo the silicon Pummerer reaction with t-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate or iodotrimethylsilane <87TL5903>. When the former is used as silylating agent, thiazolidines (260) and 4-thiazolines (261) are obtained. With iodotrimethylsilane, the iodothiazolidines (262) and the dihydro-1,4-thiazine (263) are obtained (Scheme 65).

For some materials, the most notable being silicon, heating alone sufiBces to clean the surface. Commercial Si wafers are produced with a thin layer of silicon dioxide covering the surface. This native oxide is inert to reaction with the atmosphere, and therefore keeps the underlying Si material clean. The native oxide layer is desorbed, i.e. removed into the gas phase, by heating the wafer in UHV to a temperature above approximately 1100 °C. This procedure directly fonus a clean, well ordered Si surface. 

The products of the oxidation reaction were analysed by gas chromatography (Hewlett Packard, 5880 A), employing a FID detector and equipped with a capillary column (50 m x 0.25 mm crosslinked methyl silicone gum). The reactants and products of n-hexane oxidation were analysed by gas chromatography (Hewlett Packard, 5890) equipped with a FFAP column (30 m X 0.25 mm). The identity of the products was further confined by GC-MS (Shimadzu QCMC-QP 2000A). 

Fig. 4a. TEOS is liquid at room temperature and slowly hydrolyzes into silicon dioxide and ethanol when in contact with ambient moisture. In TEOS, the silicon atom is already oxidized the conversion of TEOS to Si02 is essentially a rearrangement rather than an oxidation reaction. The overall reaction for the Si02 matrix requires the removal of two oxygen atoms from TEOS as shown in Fig. 4b.

For homogeneously doped silicon samples free of metals the identification of cathodic and anodic sites is difficult. In the frame of the quantum size formation model for micro PS, as discussed in Section 7.1, it can be speculated that hole injection by an oxidizing species, according to Eq. (2.2), predominantly occurs into the bulk silicon, because a quantum-confined feature shows an increased VB energy. As a result, hole injection is expected to occur predominantly at the bulk-porous interface and into the bulk Si. The divalent dissolution reaction according to Eq. (4.4) then consumes these holes under formation of micro PS. In this model the limited thickness of stain films can be explained by a reduced rate of hole injection caused by a diffusional limitation for the oxidizing species with increasing film thickness.
