Electron stimulated desorption, Auger line shape analysis, and electron loss spectroscopy measurements are reported for the electron activated stepwise oxidation and nitridation of the Si(111) surface. In ESD it is found that appreciable levels of surface hydrogen can be present which can lead to hydroxyl formation upon oxidation. The hydroxyl rich films are unstable in an electron beam, while surfaces oxidized with activated oxygen, where no OH is formed, are much more stable. The nitrided films are always stable in the electron beam even though there too hydrogen is always found. On the OH‐free oxide, ESD shows two chemically distinct O species, one thought to be SiO2 and the other adsorbed O2 or a chemical intermediate. The Si(L23VV) Auger spectra for both the oxide and nitride are treated by background subtraction, integration, deconvolution, and subtraction of the elemental part of the spectrum, as a function of reaction time over a well controlled series of reaction steps. The Auger spectra for both...
