摘要
We use high energy resolution synchrotron radiation core level photoemission spectroscopy to investigate the oxidation of the beta-SiC(100)3x2 surface reconstruction. We find that surface oxidation takes place at low molecular oxygen exposures and low temperatures (below 500 degrees C), and results in the formation of SiO2/beta-SiC(100)3x2 interfaces. Si+, Si2+, Si3+ and Si4+ oxidation states are identified together with a mixed oxidation state involving oxygen atoms bonded to both Si and C atoms as SiOC. The latter bonding configuration is found to be located at the interface between the silicon oxide layer and the silicon carbide substrate.
