Temperature Oxide LTO

In summary, the electrical strength of the LTO oxide was not sufficient for use as the gate dielectric in organic circuits. Therefore, another inorganic insulator of a better electrical quality is necessary, which can be deposited at lower process temperatures.

The two-component models are "too simple" to be able to describe the complex reactions taking place. Only model D was found to describe early coke (COK) production adequately. For Low Temperature Oxidation (LTO) conditions the model was adequate only up to 45 h and for cracking conditions up to 25 h. 

Additionally, low-temperature oxides (LTO) were examined. The deposition process uses triethylsilane and oxygen at 550 °C. Table 18.1 gives an overview of the different inorganic gate dielectrics, their deposition temperatures, the deposited layer thicknesses and their permittivities. 

Fig. 3-47 and Fig. 3-48 represent the behavior of n-hexacontane during the tests at 1 bar and 10 bar air pressure. The endothermic fusion peak at approximately 100 °C is not influenced by the increase of pressure. On the other hand, the exothermic oxidation peaks were shifted to lower temperatures. The first peak (low-temperature oxidation LTO) moves from 241 °C at 1 bar to 221 °C at 10 bar. In the range of fuel deposition, the peak at 334 "C (1 bai) disappears almost completely and may be recognized only in the shoulder of the LTO peak at 300 °C (10 bar). Also, the sharp peak present at 407 °C (1 bar) disappears. 

DSC oxidation in 7 bar air produce three or four very easily evaluable peaks, which may be related to the three reaction steps low temperature oxidation LTO (peak 1) fuel deposition (peak 2 and sometimes peak 3) and fuel combustion (last peak).

The oxidation reaction comprises three ranges of reaction, i.e. low temperature oxidation LTO, fuel deposition, and fuel combustion, which manifest discrete peaks at different temperatures. For example Fig. 4-165 presents the DSC plot of the oxidation of n-hexacontane in 1 bar air at a heating rate )3= 5 K/min. An increase of the heating rate shifts the peak maximum temperatures towards higher values, as expected. As a consequence additional peaks appear in the range of fuel deposition, as Fig. 4-166 shows for the example of oxidation of the dispersion medium in 1 bar air at a heating rate )8= 20 K/min. An increase of the pressure causes an increase of the area of the LTO peak, whereas peaks in the range of fuel deposition disappear and display only a shoulder on the flank of the LTO peak. The peak of the fuel combustion also becomes wider and flatter (Fig. 4-167, -hexacontane in 50 bar air, = 20 K/min).

The determination of specific phosphorus compounds in thin films is important. Only through wet chemical analysis was it possible to first discover the presence and then to accurately measure the quantities of P2Os, P203, and phosphine found in plasma, plasma-enhanced, LPO-LTO (low-pressure oxide-low-temperature oxide), and CVD (chemical vapor deposition) processes (3). Methods such as X-ray or FTIR spectroscopy would have seen all phosphorus atoms and would have characterized them as totally useful phosphorus. In plasma and plasma-enhanced CVD films, phosphine is totally useless in doping processes. 

A time study was also conducted on various 0x0 phosphorus acids (Figure 2) and on several kinds of PSG films (Figure 3). The time studies were conducted by dissolving and quantitatively removing the films from the wafers and then reacting them with a molybdate ion simultaneously. The shape of the curves indicated the presence of a slow reacting phosphorus compound in plasma, plasma enhanced, and low temperature/low pressure oxides (LTO/LPO) produced PSG films. Only atmospheric CVD films produced a typical phosphate ion curve. 

The high content of caibon double bonds in polybutadiene causes a considerable decrease in its oxidation stability. The onset point temperature is as low as 117.5 C and the maximum temperature of the first peak as low as 175 °C. The activation energy of the LTO (first peak) decreases to 66.8 kJ/Mol (Table 3-17). 

The half life time at 200 °C for EPM, EPDM, SBS, and BR is less than one minute. For HD-PE and SEBS the half life times range from eight to twenty minutes. Thus, any of these polymers might be oxidized to some extent during the production of asphalt (bitumen/ mineral) mixtures or roofing felts. Extrapolation to lower temperatures shows that EPM and BR still have low oxidation stability, while the other polymers are sufficiently stable, but they all have lower LTO stability than bitumen.
