Abstract(in English) Oxidation by UV & ozone process, nitridation by nitrogen helicon plasma process, and a combination of these processes are applied to (100) GaAs wafers. Atomic force microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope, and photoluminescence were used to characterize influences of these processes on structure and composition of the surfaces. Roughness of oxide/GaAs interface decreases with increase of the oxidation time. 120 min oxidated interface has slightly disordered GaAs portions. Nitridation of a bare surface creates about 2 nm thick strongly disordered layer with a lattice constant larger than the bulk crystal and creates high density defects. Nitridated 8 hrs-oxidized wafer shows a firm amorphous GaON, which contains GaN, layer with nearly atomic flat (terraces and steps) and uniform GaON/GaAs interface, where distortion is hardly observed. Nitridation of bare GaAs surface weakens its photoluminescence intensity. However, nitridation of oxidized surface initially improves the photoluminescence intensity, then deteriorates it by a longer time nitridation.
