A systematic study of the composition and structure of the surface of AIIIBV semiconductors (GaP, GaAs, GaSb, InP, InAs, InSb) after irradiation with 3 keV argon ions was carried out. The surface composition was determined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results obtained are discussed in terms of preferential sputtering and radiation-stimulated segregation. It is shown that the observed enrichment with the metallic component is not explained by these processes alone. A developed relief in the form of nanopillars was observed on the surface of indium-containing materials, while no relief development was found on the GaP surface. This behavior is associated with the patterns of wetting of the semiconductor surface by the surface-enriching component. Keywords: sputtering, AIIIBV, nanotopography, preferential sputtering, surface segregation, XPS.
