摘要
Clean hydrogen-terminated amorphous silicon surfaces have been generated by etching in various solutions based on hydrofluoric acid. The cleaned surfaces were characterised by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy which showed the residual carbon and oxygen contaminations to be extremely low. It was also observed that the use of ethanol-based solutions led to an improved surface. Finally, it is shown that the contamination levels depend critically on the purity of the starting chemicals.
