Popis: | X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy is used to determine the site of residual As in wet-oxidized Al0.96Ga0.04As. In a ∼0.5-μm-oxide film removed from its GaAs substrate, the remaining As atoms are found to be coordinated with oxygen in the form of amorphous-As oxides, with a mixture of ∼80% As3+ and ∼20% As5+ sites that are locally similar to As2O3 and As2O5. No evidence of interstitial or substitutional As, As precipitates, or GaAs is seen, implying that less than 10% of the As atoms are in these forms. |
