چکیده

FTR spectroscopy has been used in reflection-absorption mode to monitor the adsorption of a-imethylgallium (TMGa) at GaAs (100) surfaces at 300 K. Intense, positive going transmittance bands are observed, which confirm the theoretical prediction that the presence of an adsorbate layer at a semiconducting substrate which itself does not absorb the IR radiation, will result in a net increase in absolute IR reflectivity. Three bands are observed in the CH deformation region, at 1050 cm-l, 1174 cm-' and 1420 crn-l. The latter two bands are shown to be consistent with the formation of a surface species in which the methyl groups are intact, although lack of data in the Ga-C region prevents an unambiguous assignment. These band positions together with their spectral intensities are shown to be 1 consistent with the formation of a physisorbed TMGa species. However, the band at 1050 cm' is not consistent with this assignment. Some alternative modes of adsorption are discussed in the light of data for TMGa adsorption at Si surfaces. The data presented here are the first external reflection IR data available for possible 111-V growth surface intermediates at GaAs (100) surfaces and indicate the potential of the reflection-absorption method for the detection of adsorbed species under real MOVPE and related growth conditions.

SOME INSIGHT INTO THE NATURE OF THE SURFACE CHEMICAL PROCESSES INVOLVED IN THE MOVPE GROWTH OF GaAs FROM ARSINE AND TRIMETHYL- OR TRIETHYL-GALLIUM

A now established method of studying reaction pathways in GaAs growth is via the use of surface science and related techniques. This paper sets out to review progress made to date via the use of such techniques in terms of the two primary aims of any mechanistic investigation, the identification of reaction intermediates and the measurement of kinetic processes. A comparison is made between tri...
