Valence-Band and Chemical-State Analyses of Zr and O in Thermally Grown Thin Zirconium-Oxide Films: An XPS Study

In situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was applied to investigate the valence-band spectrum and to analyze the local chemical states of Zr and O in thin (thickness 400 K. The resolved Zr 3d5/2 and O 1s photoelectron lines and the Zr M45N1N23, Zr M45N23N23, Zr M45N23V, and O KL23L23 Auger tr...

description	In situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was applied to investigate the valence-band spectrum and to analyze the local chemical states of Zr and O in thin (thickness 400 K. The resolved Zr 3d5/2 and O 1s photoelectron lines and the Zr M45N1N23, Zr M45N23N23, Zr M45N23V, and O KL23L23 Auger transitions were combined to construct Wagner plots for Zr and O in the oxide films. The observed decreases of the Zr and O Auger-parameter values with increasing oxidation temperature evidence a lowering of the electronic polarizability around core-ionized Zr and O atoms. It was concluded that the amorphous-to-crystalline transition of the oxide films with increasing oxidation temperature is accompanied with an increase in the Zr–O bond ionicity and changes in the first coordination spheres of both Zr and O. The results obtained for the amorphous-to-crystalline transition of zirconium-oxide films were compared with those for aluminum-oxide films.
