Y. Takakuwa et al., PHOTOELECTRON INTENSITY OSCILLATION DURING CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION ON SI(100) SURFACE WITH SI2H6, Applied physics letters, 64(15), 1994, pp. 2013-2015
We have found that the photoelectron intensity of the dimer-dangling-b
ond-derived surface state on Si(100) shows a periodic oscillation duri
ng chemical vapor deposition with Si2H6 gas. The substrate temperature
and Si2H6-pressure dependence of the oscillation period was measured.
By use of a selective-growth method using SiO2-patterned wafers, one
oscillation period was clarified to correspond to the Si growth of one
atomic layer of the Si(100) plane with a thickness of 1.36 angstrom.
