摘要
The surface reactions of La(x)Al(2-x)O(3) ultrathin films deposited on atomically clean In(0.2)Ga(0.8)As by atomic layer deposition are studied by in situ high resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Using 1:2 alternating cycles of La(2)O(3) and Al(2)O(3) results in a La:Al concentration ratio of 1:10. We found that the La(x)Al(2-x)O(3)/InGaAs interface consisted of interfacial Ga-suboxides and As-As bonds but no As- or In-oxides were detected. This suggests an interface formed by Ga-O-Al and Ga-O-La bonds from the precursor reaction. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.3009303]
