Abstract

We have studied the ambient effects on the out-diffusion of GaAs through thin gold films. Auger spectroscopic measurement shows accumulation of both Ga and As on the gold surface upon annealing in N2. The accumulation, however, is reduced in the presence of CO. This suppressed out-diffusion by CO is in agreement with the surface potential model recently proposed.
