Abstract

By means of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) we have monitored the room temperature adsorption of O2 and N2O on the clean Si(0 0 1)2 × 1 surface. We have found, for the first time, a significant variation in the intensity ratio of the K L1 L1 and K L23 L23 O Auger lines in the submonolayer range. This variation can be related to a change in bonding configuration of the oxygen atom/molecule in the initial adsorption stage in which the influence of inter-atomic matrix elements of the Auger process cannot be neglected.
