For highly efficient III-V-on-Si optoelectronic devices it is crucial to prepare defect-free III-V/Si heterointerfaces with defined electronic properties. Defects known as antiphase boundaries in the III-V layer can be avoided by preparing the Si(100) surface with double-atomic steps. Here, GaP/Si(001) heterointerfaces prepared by MOCVD were investigated by hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Thin (4 - 50 nm) GaP films were grown on H- or As-terminated Si(001) surfaces. Preparation of double-atomic steps on Si surface was controlled by optical in situ spectroscopy. We observed core-level broadening and shifts of peak maxima positions depending on GaP thickness, Si wafer doping type and Si surface preparation. We were able to identify interface-related core level components and to deduce the valence band offsets at the heterostructures. These results are related to charge displacements at the interface.
