Two types of single-source precursors were studied that contained different Ga:As stoichiometry, [Me2Ga(mu-As-t-Bu2)]2 with a 1:1 stoichiometry and Ga(As-t-Bu2)3 with a 1:3 stoichiometry. Epitaxial films were grown from Ga(As-t-Bu2)3 on (100) GaAs in a chemical beam epitaxy system at 750 K and 6 X 10(-5) Torr. Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) studies for [Me2Ga(mu-As-t-Bu2)]2 and Ga(As-t-Bu2)3 have been undertaken in a surface analysis chamber to develop an understanding of how precursor structure and reaction chemistry influence film properties. tert-Butyl ligands appear to react by beta-hydride elimination process to isobutene and AsH. The methyl ligands appear to desorb rather than react with surface hydride to methane.
