Photon-stimulated desorption (PSD) of H+ ions from HF-treated Si(100) and thermally grown SiO2 has been investigated near the Si 1s excitation threshold. The time-of-flight spectrum of the H+ signal exhibits a bimodal structure consisting of alpha and beta peaks resulting from different original species. The PSD of alpha-H+ appearing at longer flight times is in resonance with the excitation of a Is core electron to the conduction-band minimum, indicating that excitation of a single electron from a deep-core level is sufficient to induce desorption followed by the creation of multiple holes by Auger decay cascades. It is inferred that the origins of alpha-H+ and beta-H+ are discriminated by different numbers of localized holes or different ejection angles depending on the silicon hydride species. The H+ PSD from SiO2, in contrast, shows sharp resonance with the 1s-->pi* transition, thus reflecting the localized character of conduction electrons and valence holes. [S0163-1829(98)07508-0].
