Investigation of the SiO2/Si(100) interface by angle-scanned photoelectron diffraction — •Stefan Dreiner1, Mark Schürmann1, Martin Krause1, Carsten Westphal1, and H e2 — 1Universität Dortmund, Experimentelle Physik I, 44221 Dortmund, Germany — 2Universität Münster, Physikalisches Institut, 48149 Münster, Germany
The interface between silicon oxide and silicon plays a crucial
role in modern semiconductor technology. Due to the advancing
miniaturisation of semiconductor devices the atomic
structure at the interface becomes increasingly important.
Ultrathin SiO2 films were thermally grown on Si(100).
Photoelectron diffraction measurements of the silicon 2p
core-level were performed to investigate the interface structure
of the various oxidation states of silicon. The Si2p-spectra were
recorded with a photon energy of 180 eV at the U-41-PGM beamline
at BESSY II. The photoemission data show the Si 2p bulk signal and
six shifted components.
In the present work we combine the chemical state specificity of
high-resolution photoemission with the structure sensitivity of
photoelectron diffraction. Structural information is obtained by a
comparison of the experimental photoelectron diffraction patterns
with simulated multiple-scattering calculations for model
clusters. We present experimental 2π photoelectron diffraction
patterns for the various chemically shifted states of Si. A
bridge-bonded interface structure which was found by theoretical
investigations [1] allows us to explain main features of the
experimental patterns.
