The interfacial reactions between atomic layer deposited Al2O3 films on various chemically treated InP(100) surfaces have been investigated by in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at each half cycle in the deposition process. With the first cycle of trimethyl aluminum, a significant decrease in the amount of indium oxides present on the surface is seen, consistent with the clean up'' effect reported for other III-V semiconductor surfaces. However, a concurrent increase in the amount of phosphorous oxide is seen, suggesting oxygen transfer from indium oxides to phosphorous during indium oxide decomposition.
