Tw. Lee et al., Adsorption and desorption of P on (001) InP surface in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition by surface photoabsorption, J KOR PHYS, 34, 1999, pp. S461-S463
We studied the surface structure of (001) InP in metalorganic chemical vapo
r deposition (MOCVD) ambient by surface photoabsorption (SPA). A P-dimer pe
ak at 430 nm and an In-dimer peak at 600 nm were observed from the: SPA sub
traction spectra. A maximum SPA reflectivity change of 8 % between the P-st
abilized and the In-stabilized surfaces was obtained at 470 nm. A first-ord
er desorption kinetics was assumed to curve-fit the SPA signal and an activ
ation energy of 3.36 eV was obtained.
