Abstract

A photo chemical vapor deposited silicon dioxide - gallium arsenide interface treated by a selenium(Se)-molecular beam is investigated using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis. The Se K-edge EXAFS shows the presence of Ga2Se3-related compound at the SiO2/GaAs interface, indicating that the Ga2Se3 layer formed by the Se-treatment is preserved after the deposition of the SiO2film. The effective coordination number of the Se atoms is found to depend on the direction of the polarizing vector with respect to the crystal orientation. An attempt is made to interpret this dependence using a simple atomic layer model.
