A stable hydrogen-terminated Si (100) surface was obtained by using a modified mothed. The Si (100) surface was hydrogen passivated during the ex-situ HF-dip followed by the in-situ low-temperature desorption of physisorbed residues. It was found that this procedure is very effective to eliminate the boron spike at the Si MBE layer/p-Si substrate interface. The origon of the boron spike is also discussed.
