Abstract
The surface segregation of phosphorus, antimony, and boron in Si molec ular-beam epitaxy is investigated experimentally at low temperatures. Rate and temperature dependent measurements are explained by a segrega tion model, which connects surface segregation with surface diffusion. The model is found to explain quantitatively many available data of s egregation on different semiconductor surfaces, explicitly: Si, Ge, an d GaAs.
