Abstract:
We studied the atomic surface properties of Si(100) during preparation in a metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy reactor and the impact of the hydrogen ambient. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy directly proved monohydride termination of the Si surface after VPE preparation. In situ reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy showed the absence of Si-H bonds at elevated annealing temperature, while at room temperature the characteristic spectrum of the hydrogen terminated surface was obtained. During cooling the in situ measurements enabled the observation of the transition between the clean and the H-terminated surface.
