Abstract

The sub-initial oxidation of Si (111) surface by a high-flux pure ozone was investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In addition to the advantage of the pure ozone which can efficiently oxidize the Si surface at room temperature, the high-flux ozone was found to further enhance the oxidation. The possibility of producing negative ions of oxidizing gases using Rydberg electron transfer was also investigated.
