Abstract

Ultraviolet reflectivity, surface chemistry and electrical measurements are reported for Ar+-ion bombarded (100) GaAs surfaces, with ion energies from 0.5 to 4 keV. Changes in reflectivity spectra, surface stoichiometry and Schottky diode parameters are reported as functions of ion energy.
