H2O was adsorbed onto n-InP(110) cleavage planes at 100 K and its interaction with the surface was investigated by SXPS and LEED. H2O is dissociatively adsorbed at low coverages forming In-OH and P-H bonds, which lead to pinning acceptor states close to midgap. At higher coverages H2O is molecularly adsorbed and flat band potential is retained. During annealing first the molecularly adsorbed H2O desorbs and afterwards the surface rearranges to form an In suboxide. The oxidized surface shows Fermi level pinning at E-F-E-VB = 0.9 eV.
