Abstract:
In situ FTIR spectroscopy has been used in the attenuated total reflectance (ATR) mode to investigate the surface chemistry of etching Si(100) surfaces in aqueous KOH. The effect of solution concentration and electrode potential on the Si-H vibrations has been explored and the experimental results compared with density functional theory calculations. In addition. the kinetics of surface passivation of n-Si(100) has been investigated using FTIR spectroscopy.
