| 内容記述 | The oxidation of Al(x)Ga(1-x)As (x = 0.15, AlGaAs) was studied by AES and XPS at 350 C and different oxygen exposures (up to 5 x 10 exp 4 L). Also studied were the effects of yttrium overlayers (theta = 3 ML) on the oxidation of the AlGaAs surface. Substantial oxygen-induced Al surface segregation has been observed for both yttriated and nonyttriated AlGaAs surfaces which increased with increasing oxygen exposure. Also observed is a significant Y-enhanced oxidation of the AlGaAs surface. Oxidation of the yttriated AlGaAs surface was found to be a factor of 4 greater than that of the nonyttriated surface. Also, while oxidation of the nonyttriated AlGaAs yielded mainly Al2O(x) (x less than 3) and only little Ga2O3, the yttriated AlGaAs surface oxide layer was principally Ga2O3 and stoichiometric Al2O3. However, both the yttriated and nonyttriated surfaces were found to contain metallic As within the oxide layer. |
