B A R T H E CNET, Laboratoire de Bagneux, 196 Rue de Paris, F-92230 Bagneux, France Received 1 April 1985; accepted for publication 30 April 1985 The investigation by LEED, RHEED, TEM, AES, UPS and XPS of the early stages of the formation of the Ga-InP(100) interface is reported. From low coverages, a G a - l n exchange reaction takes place releasing metallic In. From 10 ML, this process slows down notably and the growth of 3D liquid or amorphous metallic Ga islands is clearly observed.

At room temperature (RT), the film grows in a layer by layer like mode. With increasing Ts, the intensity of the Cu M2.3W (61 eV) Auger transition decreases and at 7~ = 500°C no Cu Auger signal could be measured below 0 - 100. Yet SEM and TEM observations of these deposits show islands in epitaxial relation with the substrate. It can be determined from TEM images that these islands are covered with a Si skin ( - 50 A thick) and that they are deeply implanted in the Si substrate. This explains the AES measurements.

A608 The formation of the Au-Si(lll) interface has been studied through many different approaches. Although of higher technical importance the Au-Si(100) interface has received much less attention, especially in the early stages of its formation. We present a detailed study of this system at RT in the low coverage region, from zero to a few monolayers, using LEED, AES and transmission electron microscopy. The discussion of the experimental results is focussed on the onset of the intermixing reaction.

IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, CH-8803 R~schlikon, Switzerland Received 1 April 1985; accepted for publication 10 May 1985 Together with LEED and Auger spectroscopy, Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Tunneling Spectroscopy (TS) have been used to characterize about 1 monolayer of Au deposited on a 7 x 7 Si(lll) surface and annealed at 600°C. A f 3 x 7'3R(30 °) LEED pattern was observed, whereas STM revealed a 6 x 6 superstructure locally. TS showed strong characteristic resonances in the field-emission range together with a pronounced empty surface state 1 eV above the Fermi level.

LEPES, CNRS, BP 166 X, F-38042 Grenoble Cbdex, France Received 1 April 1985; accepted for publication 22 April 1985 The charge trapped in interface states localized at metal-semiconductor contacts can be varied by means of capture and emission processes controlled by forward bias voltage, frequency and temperature. A corresponding capacitance is detected. Typical results are shown for Ag/Si and Au/Si samples, when the constant capture rate method is used and are compared to those obtained from the constant emission rate method. Both appear to be complementary.
