摘要
We report on the use of surface photoabsorption (SPA) as an in situ technique for monitoring III-V semiconductors in an MOVPE reactor. The technique gives information about the oxide desorption of various III-V substrates before growth. We find that the oxides from acid-etched GaAs desorb slowly even at high temperature (> 650 degrees C) unless atomic hydrogen is present. Alkali-etched GaAs oxides are desorbed at a much lower temperature (<440 degrees C). The shape and temperature range (260-410 degrees C) of the optical response associated with InAs and GaAs deoxidation is quite different to that from InSb and GaSb(260-530 degrees C).
