摘要
本文用光致发光谱(PL)结合俄欧电子能谱(AES)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS),首次研究了S2Cl2钝化的GaAs(100)表面.结果表明,PL强度较钝化前样品提高了将近两个数量级.钝化后的表面AES谱显示含有S,Ga,AS,C和少量Cl原子而不含O原子.XPS谱说明S原子和Ga、As原子都成键.与(NH4)2S处理的比较结果显示,几秒钟的.S2Cl2处理即可达到或超过几十分钟(NH4)2S处理的钝化效果.
Abstract Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy combined with Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is used to study the S2Cl2passivated GaAs (100) surfaces. The PL intensity increases by two orders of magnitude after this treatment indicating a substantial reduction of surface recombination rate. AES data show that the sulfurized surface contains S,Ga,As,C and small amount of Cl atoms but no oxygen at all.This method is quite effective for removing the surface oxide of GaAs. XPS results reveal that S bond to both Ga and As atoms, and the sulfide layer is thicker than that by (NH4)2S treatment.
