Thin (0–250 A) anodic oxides were formed on p‐GaAs (100) in aqueous solutions (borate buffer, pH 8.4 and 0.3 M NH4H2PO4, pH 4.4). The thickness, composition, and electrochemical behavior were characterized by x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectrometry, ellipsometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In borate buffer, oxide growth results in a two‐layer structure with an outer As2O3‐rich layer and ion transfer is mainly diffusion controlled. From the potential dependence of the film thickness a growth rate of 25 A/V was determined. Due to the formation of a Ga‐phosphate precursor layer in NH4H2PO4, films grow under field control which results in a time dependence of oxide thickness and composition. Under pseudosteady state conditions a growth rate of 28 A/V was obtained. Films formed in NH4H2PO4 have, except for the outer phosphate layer, a fairly uniform composition in depth with a significant enrichment of Ga2O3, and show a 40 times higher specific charge transfer resista...
