Experimental results are presented on the synchrotron-radiation-induce
d desorption of oxygen ions from HF-treated Si surfaces measured with
a quadrupole mass analyzer operated in the pulse-counting mode. The ef
fect of atomic hydrogen exposure was studied. Desorption of H+, O+ and
F+ ions was observed from HF-treated Si surfaces. The yield of O+ ion
s was increased more than 30-fold by exposure to atomic hydrogen.
