-treated GaAs(100) surfaces annealed at
200°C and 400°C have been studied on atomic scale by X-ray
photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and medium-energy
ion scattering (MEIS) using blocking. XPS spectra showed that the growth of native oxide
layers on GaAs surfaces was suppressed after (NH4)2S
x
treatment
and that most S atoms were bonded to only As or Ga atoms depending on the annealing temperature.
STM observations revealed that S atoms on a GaAs(100) surface were reconstructed in a
periodic structure of 1×1 in the case of annealing at 200°C,
while 2×1 reconstruction was observed after annealing at 400°C.
The distance between the S adsorbed layer and the uppermost layer of GaAs(100) could
be estimated from the angle-resolved MEIS blocking spectra.
