The effect of p-type doping on the oxidation of H-Si(111) studied by second-harmonic generation

Materials Science 2011-09-08 v1 Chemical Physics Optics

Abstract

Atomic force microscopy and second-harmonic generation data show that boron doping enhances the rate of oxidation of H-terminated silicon. Holes cause a greater increase in the reactivity of the Si-H up bonds than that of the Si-Si back bonds.
