  • Patent number: 4761300
    Abstract: Accurate metered amounts of Pnictide.sub.4 species are delivered via an argon carrier gas into an evacuated sputtering deposition chamber. The pnictide is maintained at a high temperature in a tall column by means of a constant temperature oil bath. An inert gas, such as argon, is passed through the column of Pnictide and the Pnictide.sub.4 enriched carrier gas delivered to the vacuum chamber. Films of pnictide, polypnictide, and other pnictide compounds may be deposited for semiconductor, thin film transistors, and other applications including insulation and passivation, particularly on III-V semiconductors. The local order of the deposited films may be controlled by varying the amount of energy delivered to the surface of the substrate, which is a function of its temperature, the RF power used, and the amount of excess P.sub.4 supplied. The pnictides used in the invention may include phosphorus, arsenic and antimony. Phosphorous and KP.sub.15, and KP.sub.x wherein x ranges from 15 to infinity are discussed.

  • Patent number: 4754072
    Abstract: Thiophenols are formed from phenols by first reacting a phenol with thiophosgene to form an aryl chlorothionoformate which is subjected to a halogen exchange reaction using an alkali metal fluoride to yield the corresponding fluorothionoformate. This fluorothionoformate is then rearranged to the corresponding fluorothiolformate by heating and the resulting fluorothiolformate is then hydrolyzed to yield the desired thiophenol.
