摘要
A new chemical enhanced oxidation method for gallium arsenide (GaAs) in liquid phase near room temperature (40 degrees C-70 degrees C) is proposed and investigated. Featureless oxide layers with good uniformity and reliability can be grown efficiently on GaAs without any extra energy source. A relatively high oxidation rate (similar or equal to 1000 Angstrom/h), about 50 times higher than that obtained during oxidation in boiling water has been realized. Based on the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), excellent chemical stability after thermal annealing as well as good chemical stoichiometry have been realized. The oxide was determined to be composed of Ga2O3 and As2O3.
