Shigina Advances in semiconductor production have producedincreasinglystringent specifications for purity of initial materials, including GeC14. The material of the apparatus is important in the production of a highly pure compound, and we have recorded IR spectra of GeC14 stored for 6 months in tubes of glass, quartz, polyethylene, vinyl plastic, and PTFE. we used an IKS-21 single-beam spectrometer with an NaC1 prism over the range 4000-700 cm -1 with ceils 1.5 cm thick. The bands were interpreted in terms of pub- lished IR spectra [1-4]. PTFE gave the purest product (curve 5 of Fig. 1), with only traces of SiC14 and Si2OC16 [1]. Air always contains a certain amount of Si2OC16, so the bands of this will appear even if it is absent from the compound. GeC14 stored in PTFE shows a 1267 cm -~ band corresponding to compounds such as CH2C12 [2]. This band was weak in the layer thickness used, and hardly any absorption was observed at 3010 cm -1 (the main C-H stretching band in CH 3 and CH 2 groups). The same applies for the 1380 and 1460 TI - Contamination of GeCl4 by handling equipment JF - Journal of Applied Spectroscopy DO - 10.1007/BF02628144 DA - 2007-05-03 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/contamination-of-gecl4-by-handling-equipment-2ZTWGbYS0h SP - 1020 EP - 1021 VL - 9 IS - 3 DP - DeepDyve ER -
