An accelerated desorption of fluorine adsorbates from silicon surfaces is induced by atomic deuterium (or hydrogen) exposure at low substrate temperature. The reaction processes have been investigated with in situ Auger analysis and thermally stimulated desorption spectroscopy (TDS) measurements. Th...
