Tetravinylsilane is a useful research chemical compound.
Tetravinylsilane (TVS) could be used to deposit hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC: H) films to study the influence of RF (13.56 MHz) pulsed plasma on the double bond. It can also be used as a monomer for the deposition of pp-TVS films[1-2].
