Abstract

A composition and method of preparation, to provide silane compounds that are free of chlorine. The compounds are hexakis(monohydrocarbylamino)disilanes with general formula (I)((R)HN)3—Si—Si—(NH(R))3  (I)wherein each R independently represents a C1 to C4 hydrocarbyl. These disilanes may be synthesized by reacting hexachlorodisilane in organic solvent with at least 6-fold moles of the monohydrocarbylamine RNH2 (wherein R is a C1 to C4 hydrocarbyl). Such compounds have excellent film-forming characteristics at low temperatures. These films, particularly in the case of silicon nitride and silicon oxynitride, also have excellent handling characteristics.
