Resumo

Pinning of the Fermi level on the oxidized (110) surface of AIII-Sb semiconductors (GaSb, Ga_0.78In_0.22As_0.18Sb_0.82, Ga_0.66Al_0.34As_0.025Sb_0.975) was studied. It is shown that the Fermi level is pinned at 4.65 ± 0.1 eV from the vacuum level. The presence of Sb was shown for the photooxidized Ga_0.78In_0.22As_0.18Sb_0.82 and Ga_0.66Al_0.34As_0.025Sb_0.975 surfaces. The formation of Sb on the surface because of faster oxidation of group III elements results in pinning of the Fermi level at the same distance from the vacuum level in III-Sb compounds.
