چکیده

The nitridation of InP(100) surfaces has been studied using synchrotron radiation photoemission. The samples were chemically cleaned and then ion bombarded, which cleaned the surface and also induced the formation of metallic indium droplets. The nitridation with a Glow Discharge Cell (GDS) produced indium nitride by reaction with these indium clusters. We used the In 4d and P 2p core levels to monitor the chemical state of the surface and the coverage of the species present. We observed the creation of In-N and P-N bonds while the In-In metallic bonds decrease which confirm the reaction between indium clusters and nitrogen species. A theoretical model based on stacked layers allows to assert that almost two monolayers of indium nitride are produced. The effect of annealing on the nitridated layers at 450°C has been also analysed. It appears that this system is stable until this temperature, well above the congruent evaporation temperature (370°C) of clean InP(100) : no increase of metallic indium bonds due to decomposition of the substrate is detected as shown in previous works [16] studying the InP(100) surfaces

Tip–surface interactions in atomic force microscopy: reactive vs. metallic surfaces

We present ab initio simulations of AFM image formation in the non-contact regime for prototypical reactive semiconductor and metal surfaces: InP(1 1 0)-1 1 and Cu(0 0 1). For the reactive surface the effect of tip morphology of the tip apex was also studied. The nature of the tip apex alters the local tip reactivity and can lead to reversal of the apparent AFM surface corrugation. We find that...

Formation of Cesium Peroxide and Cesium Superoxide on InP Photocathode Activated by Cesium and Oxygen

Activation of p type III-V semiconductors with Cesium and Oxygen has been widely used to prepare Negative Electron Affinity (NEA) photocathodes. However, the nature of the chemical species on the surface after the activation is not well-understood. In this study, InP NEA photocathodes activated with Cesium and Oxygen are studied using Synchrotron Radiation Photoelectron Spectroscopy, also calle...

Growth and surface passivation of near-surface InGaAs quantum wells

The growth and surface passivation of near-surface InGaAs quantum wells (QWs) on GaAs (1 1 0) substrate have been investigated. Triangular shaped small islands, approximate areal density of 10 cm , are observed on metal organic vapor phase epitaxially grown GaAs single layer and InGaAs multi-quantum wells (MQWs) surfaces in a wide range of growth temperatures. By optimizing the growth condition...

Phase transitions of III–V compound semiconductor surfaces in the MOVPE environment

The structure of gallium arsenide and indium phosphide (0 0 1) surfaces in the metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) environment has been investigated. During growth at V/III ratios in excess of 10, both materials are terminated with group V ad-dimers (As or P), alkyl groups and hydrogen atoms. These species sit on top of a complete layer of the group V atoms. As the V/III ratio decreases, t...
