Abstract

A dry surface passivation of GaAs using the combination of H₂S gas with an ArF excimer laser was examined. Native oxides at the surface were etched away by laser irradiation in vacuum. By subsequent laser irradiation in a H₂S gas ambient, the surface was covered with sulfur atoms. The dry passivation technique in this study is comparable to the wet passivation process using (NH₄)₂S_x treatment in terms of the sulfur coverage ratio.
