Abstract
The properties of interfaces formed by the deposition of metal atoms onto semiconductor surfaces have been studied extensively. The development of experimental techniques that allow investigations with high spatial and energy resolution has advanced the understanding of surface bonding, chemical reactions, intermixing, and Schottky barrier formation [8.1–26]. At the same time, our understanding of the processes and the mechanisms that give rise to the various atom profiles is still far from complete. Moreover, there is no consensus about the physical mechanisms responsible for the development of the Schottky barrier.

A great many important contributions have come from the application of the tools of surface science for interface research, including those listed below. Here, we emphasize references related to photoemission. Others would include scanning tunneling microscopy, LEED, medium-energy ion scattering, Rutherford backscattering, etc. See, for example: J.M.
