D. Sterratt et al., ESD AND ION ANGULAR-DISTRIBUTIONS OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CHLORINE IONS FROM THE SILICON(100) CHLORINE INTERFACE/, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 101(1-2), 1995, pp. 84-87
Parameters of electron stimulated desorption of positive and negative
chlorine ions at the Si(100)/Cl interface have been studied with chlor
ine coverages up to around one monolayer and with electron energies up
to 400 eV. Ion angular distributions of Cl- ions show a dominance of
emission normal to the surface in contrast to Cl+ ion patterns which i
ncorporate off-normal beams. The evidence points to the role of a dipo
lar dissociation process at defect (missing atom) sites in negative io
n formation.
