Oxidation of Ethylene and Acetylene Adsorbed on Si(100) by Atomic Oxygen

Abstract

The oxidation of Si(100) covered with deuterium, ethylene and acetylene by oxygen atoms was studied using Auger electron spectroscopy. Oxygen atoms were generated by vacuum ultraviolet (157 nm) laser photolysis of molecular oxygen. The oxygen uptake is linear for oxide coverages in the 1-3 monolayer range, and a difference in the facility of oxidation is observed for the three systems. These reactivity differences are discussed in terms of mechanistic, geometrical and electronic structural differences for these adsorbate-surface systems.
