ABSTRACTIon mass spectrometry, charged particle yields, and kinetic energy distributions of electrons and ions are used to characterize silicon wafers and vacuum-cleaved silicon surfaces under conditions related to laser annealing. We find that alkali metals dominate the positive ion emission from chemically-cleaned wafers, a mass-72 peak tentatively identified as Si2O+ comprises the main ion emission from the cleaved surface, and ion and electron temperatures can be derived from the energy distribution curves although the Si2O+ emission implies more than a simple thermal evaporation process.

To clarify the thermionic property of solids, the mean work function effective for positive ion from polycrystalline surfaces (ϕ+) is theoretically studied together with that for electron emission (ϕe). The theoretical values of ϕ+ and ϕe thus evaluated typically with W are in good agreement respectively with those experimental ones accepted today. The thermionic contrast (Δϕ* ≡ ϕ+ – ϕe) is determined to be 0.56–0.57eV for W. For other polycrystalline metals (Nb, Mo, Ta, Re, Ir and Pt), it ranges from about 0.4 to 0.8eV in contrast with monocrystalline ones having Δϕ* = 0. Consequently, the fact of Δϕ* > 0 should be taken into consideration with any polycrystalline surface, and ϕ+ should be adopted whenever we try to analyze those data on positive ion emission due to any of the processes such as thermal stimulation and ion bombardment at heterogeneous surfaces. This article concludes that such typical data on thermal- and secondary-positive ion emissions are analyzed reasonably by adoption of ϕ+ instead of ϕe.
