Molecular Precursors to Thin Films

  • Chapter
Inorganometallic Chemistry

Part of the book series: Modern Inorganic Chemistry ((MICE))

Abstract

The chemistry of the inorganic metal-nonmetal bond is central to modern materials science. The modern electronics and computer hardware industries are based on inorganic materials such as compound semiconductors, which are embodiments of the metal-nonmetal bond. In view of the importance of such compounds, their synthesis offers important challenges and opportunities for reaction chemistry. This type of synthesis chemistry has a number of unique features, perhaps the most apparent of which is that the macroscopic form of the final product is as important as its microscopic chemical constitution. Depending on the ultimate use of the material it is required in forms as varied as large (dimensions of inches to feet) single crystals, powders (both polycrystalline and amorphous), monoliths, nanoscale materials, and thin films. Since so many different products are desired, a variety of synthesis techniques are required.
