Abstract

S-terminated InP(100) surfaces which are chemically clean and stable were obtained by sulfide solution treatments. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) were used to investigate the thermal and chemical stability of the surfaces. Schottky diodes based on S-passivated InP(100) wafers were used as test devices tostudy the surface electrical properties.
