The results of X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS valence band and core levels) measurements for Ge+implanted SiO2/Si heterostructures are presented. These heterostructures have a 30 nm thick Ge+ion implanted amorphous SiO2layer on p-type Si. The chemical-state transformation of the host-matrix composition after Ge+ion implantation and rapid thermal annealing (RTA) are discussed. The XPS-analysis performed allows to conclude the formation of Ge0and GeOxclusters within the samples under study. It was established, that the annealing time strongly affects the degree of oxidation states of Ge-atoms.
