Observation of ion-induced chemically bonded states of Auger LVV peak on a Si(111) surface

  • 1. National Physical Lab., New Delhi (India)

Description

A clean polished Si(111) surface was exposed to a dust free atmosphere. The surface was then etched for known times by argon-ion sputtering. Examination by Auger electron spectroscopy revealed that surface impurities such as S and Mo are quickly eliminated but indicated that the argon-ion bombardment induces bonding of the silicon with oxygen and carbon. The bonding states are seen as position shifts and variations in the shape of the Si LVV Auger peak. (U.K.)
