Description We have investigated surface layers on a monocrystalline float-zone, n-type ( 2400-2990 Ohm.cm) sphere with the diameter of 93.6004 mm. Ellipsometric spectra in the visible-ultraviolet range reveals the presence of thin layers of amorphous Si as well as oxide overlayer. We have also prepared a series of flat Si samples, polished using slurries with 1-6 mu m grits; the overlayers were examined by mid-infrared ellipsometry, including the range of polar vibrations of the Si O bonds. AFM measurements on the sphere were used to test the models of its surface. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
