    Abstract

    The inelastic scattering of O Is photoelectrons in ultra-thin silicon oxides thermally grown on Si(111) surface in 1 Torr dry oxygen at 600-880°C was studied. The folloxving results were obtained: (1) the energy loss of O 1s photoelectrons arising from band gap ionization in SiO2 can be observed for oxide films with thickness larger than about 1 nm, (2) the energy loss in the energy range from 3 to 9 eV observed for O 1s photoelectrons can be correlated mostly with the compositional transition layer.
