dc.description.abstract | The observed binding energy shift for silicon oxide films grown on crystalline silicon varies as a function of film thickness. The physical basis of this shift has previously been ascribed to a variety of initial state effects (Si–O ring size, strain, stoichiometry, and crystallinity), final state effects (a variety of screening mechanisms), and extrinsic effects (charging). By constructing a structurally homogeneous silicon oxide film on silicon, initial state effects have been minimized and the magnitude of final state stabilization as a function of film thickness has been directly measured. In addition, questions regarding the charging of thin silicon oxide films on silicon have been addressed. From these studies, it is concluded that initial state effects play a negligible role in the thickness-dependent binding energy shift. For the first ∼ 30 Å∼30Å of oxide film, the thickness-dependent binding energy shift can be attributed to final state effects in the form of image charge induced stabilization. Beyond about 30 Å, charging of the film occurs. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. | en_US |

dc.identifier.citedreference | We note that some researchers have dissented, at least to some degree, with this viewpoint, particularly with regard to the spatial location of moieties giving rise to peak C.

dc.identifier.citedreference | Initial state effects refer to structural and compositional features of the material that influence the energy level of the core state prior to interaction with the exciting photon. In general, any change that effects the valence electron distribution will also cause the energy of the core electrons to vary. | en_US |
dc.identifier.citedreference | Final state effects refer to mechanisms that serve to stabilize (or destabilize) the positively charged core-hole state that is formed upon ejection of the photoelectron from the emitting atom. | en_US |
dc.identifier.citedreference | Extrinsic effects are defined as those not related to the specific geometric or electronic structure of the material to be studied, but are instead related to details of the experimental conditions. For example, charging occurs when insulating samples are exposed to an x-ray source. | en_US |

dc.identifier.citedreference | The use of this ratio avoids the introduction of error caused by slight differences in sample alignment which can lead to a variation in absolute intensity from spectrum to spectrum. | en_US |

dc.identifier.citedreference | Equation (5) explicitly assumes that significant islanding does not occur. We explored the effect of such islanding by adding the possibility of a third incomplete layer to the calculation. This resulted in a maximum 10% error in the calculated ratio. | en_US |
