TY - JOUR A1 - Hoffmann, Patrick A1 - Mikalo, Ricardo Pablo A1 - Schmeißer, Dieter T1 - Si(001) surface oxidation by N2O N2 - Ultra-thin homogeneous oxynitride films are prepared on Si(001). The Si surface is cleaned in UHV by heating (flashing) and is exposed to different pressures of N2Oat altered temperatures. Thus oxynitride layers of different thickness and different properties are grown depending on the N2O pressure and the Si temperature. This isillustrated by a schematic diagram. The properties of the different oxynitride layers were studied by a combined photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) andphotoelectron spectroscopy (PES) investigation using highly monochromatic synchrotron radiation. The amount of oxygen and nitrogen incorporated in the oxynitridelayers is determined from the PES measurements. The typical surface morphology for different preparation conditions is shown in PEEM images.

The interface was studied by X-rayand ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy in the range of 0.13 up to 1.8 metal atoms per hexylthiophene unit. In the range of 0.13-0.26 sodium atoms per hexylthiophenering we find a change inthe surface potentials which is interpreted as a discharge of positive surface charges. Sodium exposures above 0.5 sodium atoms perhexylthiophene unit exhibit a reduction of the thiophene sulfur due to the formation of sodium sulfide and breaking of the thiophene ring.

Their influence onsurface topography, chemistry and electronic properties was investigated using in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) and photoclectron spectroscopy, performed inpart at the U49/2 undulator beam line at BESSY II. The results are examined in order to develop an improved understanding of the chemical-electrochemical surfacetransformation processes.

It is possibleto handle samples with a size of 30 mm x 30 mm.With PEEM it is possible to visualise grain boundaries and crystal displacements without removing the native oxide. No special sample treatment is needed exceptchemical polishing of the sample surface and a HF-dip to obtain a thin (1 ... 2 nm) oxide layer.The quality of that oxide was proofed by high resolution photo electron spectroscopy (PES) at a synchrotron. The results were compared to native oxide onsingle-crystalline Si and no suboxides (e.g. SiO) were found. Our spectromicroscopic PEEM measurements show no difference in the oxide qualities of different grainsand on grain boundaries or crystal displacements. Furthermore no difference in the binding energy of Si2p core levels were found.In addition to grain boundaries other spot-like features were found on the sample surface. These could be identified in some cases as precipitation of Ca underneath thenative oxide.

The origin of chemically shifted components in the Si2p and C1s spectra is discussed in the light of previous studies onwet-chemically prepared surfaces and on silicate adlayer reconstructed surfaces. On 6H-SiC(0001) an ordered silicate adlayer was prepared by etching the surface withsulfuric acid based agents.

The purity of the material was checked by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The orientation of the molecules in respect to the substrate plane was investigated by angle-dependent near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy. The morphology was characterized by atomic force microscopy. Most samples exhibited a significant orientation that was accompanied by crystalline structures; others had no orientation at all with a dominant amorphous morphology. This behavior indicates that several preparation parameters affect the crystallinity and the orientation of the phthalocyanines.
