General description

Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) is the ethyl ester of ortho silicic acid, which is the most readily available silicon source. It is mainly used as a crosslinking agent in silicon polymer and precursor in the preparation of silicon thin films.

Features and Benefits

TEOScan polymerize in alkaline, acidic, and neutral conditions, making it anadvantageous precursor
