Abstract
AES, XPS, and SIMS analysis of the plasma grown oxyfluorides on GaAs are presented. These data indicate that the films are composed of three basic layers. Region 1 is a mixed As2O3, Ga2O3 glass with low concentrations of fluorine. In the second region, fluorine concentrations increase and a shoulder on the As-5d and Ga-3d peaks are observed. As2O3 and Ga2O3 are still the major constituents of the film. At the interface between the oxyfluoride glass and the substrate is a thin metallic As region. The difference between pure oxides and this oxyfluoride is the incorporation of fluorine in the films and lower concentrations of metallic As at the interface.
