Abstract

The adsorption and reaction of atomic oxygen on the Si(100) surface has been examined by employing supersonic beam techniques, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Atomic oxygen adsorbs with a unit probability of adsorption on the clean Si(100) surface. The probability of adsorption decreases monotonically with increasing coverage. At surface temperatures above approximately 1000 K. the adsorption of atomic oxygen results in the gasification of the substrate, producing SiO(g). In comparison to molecular oxygen for this reaction, where two surface intermediates were implicated, only one surface intermediate is formed from the reaction of atomic oxygen with the Si surface.
