Resumen:
The time evolution of a GaAs(100) ?epi-ready? wafer exposed to air at normal conditions of pressure and temperature has been studied by means of Auger electron spectroscopy and argon-ion depth profiling. Our results show that the oxygen signal near the surface evolves during times as long as 5 months. The evolution of the oxygen signal is accompanied by the penetration of an oxidation front as the air exposure increases. This behavior is confirmed from different indicators obtained through the study of the low-energy Auger line-shape spectra.
