One third of a monolayer of spatially ordered B on (111)-oriented crystalline Si was prepared under ultra-high vacuum and then buried under a thin layer of amorphous Si. This left a 2-dimensional v3 x v3 B layer in substitutional sites which were confined to a single monolayer on the crystalline side of the interface. This layer was electrically active, with a mobility that was greater than the corresponding bulk value.
