Could you please share the reference and related information if it is possible to prevent formation of nature surface oxide at aluminum surface by silane coating?
Chlorosilanes can etch away the oxide layer. Whether they prevent oxide formation or not once they are bonded to the surface, I cannot directly address.
whether you use chlorosilanes like dichlorosilanes like dichlorosilane, trichlorosilane or silicon tetrachloride as your source gas it still provides a silicon layer that will form a native oxide. The chlorine in the source gas could etch/pit the Al and requirea significantly higher decomposition and deposition temperatures than the non-Cl based silanes as well. There are ways to chemically remove the native oxide on the Si leaving a stable H-terminated surface for a reasonable amount of time in air until the next process step occurs. A lot of this does depend on thermal budget and what the next process step is.
