Construction and testing of a hydrogen cracking cell
A UHV atomic hydrogen-cracking cell has been constructed to produce atomic hydrogen in order to perform in-situ cleaning of semiconductor samples. The cell was calibrated and tested with the objective of cleaning the III-V semiconductor samples such as GaAs. Mass spectroscopy studies during the atomic hydrogen cleaning of the GaAs samples revealed the chemical process of the hydrogen cleaning. ...
متن کاملOptimized cleaning method for producing device quality InP(100) surfaces
A very effective, two-step chemical etching method to produce clean InP(100) surfaces when combined with thermal annealing has been developed. The hydrogen peroxide/sulfuric acid based solutions, which are successfully used to clean GaAs(100) surfaces, leave a significant amount of residual oxide on the InP surface which can not be removed by thermal annealing. Therefore, a second chemical etch...
متن کاملAtomic Hydrogen Cleaning of Semiconductor Photocathodes
Negative Electron Affinity (NEA) semiconductor photocathodes are widely used for the production of polarized electron beams, and are also useful for the production of high brightness electron beams which can be modulated at very high frequencies. Preparation of an atomically clean semiconductor surface is an essential step in the fabrication of a NEA photocathode. This cleaning step is difficul...
متن کاملInteraction of atomic hydrogen with monometallic Au(100), Cu(100), Pt(100) surfaces and surface of bimetallic Au@Cu(100), Au@Pt(100) overlayer systems: The role of magnetism
The spin-polarized calculations in generalized gradient approximation density–functional theory (GGA–DFT) have been used to show how the existence of second metals can modify the atomic hydrogen adsorption on Au (100), Cu (100), and Pt (100) surfaces. The computed adsorption energies for the atomic hydrogen adsorbed at the surface coverage of 0.125 ML (monolayer) for the monometallic Au (100), ...
متن کاملWork function and affinity changes associated with the structure of hydrogen-terminated diamond „100... surfaces
The positron and electron work functions and affinities of diamond ~100! surfaces were measured using positron reemission and Kelvin probe techniques to reveal changes in the chemical potential, surface dipole, and band bending. The positron affinity x1 is negative; at temperatures between 20 and 100 °C we find x1 524.2060.04 eV for the (231) reconstructed, hydrogen-free surface, 23.7660.04 eV ...
