Atomic hydrogen (H·)-induced modification of Ga 2 O 3 -like oxide on GaAs (001) was studied by temperature-programmed desorption. H· treatment at 300°C caused a new Ga 2 O desorption starting at around 400°C, whereas a sample treated with molecular hydrogen gave simultaneous desorption of Ga 2 O and elemental As only above 500°C, the same as observed in the untreated sample. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed a reduction in O1s intensity after the H· treatment. These results indicate that atomic hydrogen converts Ga 2 O 3 -like oxide into volatile Ga 2 O-like oxide and consequently lowers the oxide-removal temperature.
