Layer-by-layer etching of GaAs „110... with halogenation and pulsed-laser irradiation

چکیده
We have investigated the effect of laser irradiation on the terrace morphology of Br-covered GaAs ~110!. Layer-by-layer etching of GaAs ~110! is demonstrated through laser-induced etching and atomic desorption. Nanosecond pulsed-laser irradiation ~hn52.3 eV, pulse power ;35 mJ cm! of Br–GaAs ~110! initially produces a high density of small, single-layer etch pits as Br is consumed. Continued laser irradiation causes Ga and As desorption from pit edges so that pits grow and thereby remove the remnant of the top GaAs layer. When there is Br on the surface, pit growth reflects the Br chemisorption structure ~elongated along @001#! but subsequent atom desorption favors growth along @11̄0#. © 1998 American Vacuum Society. @S0734-2101~98!01502-4#

Fabrication and Optical Characterization of Silicon Nanostructure Arrays by Laser Interference Lithography and Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching
In this paper metal-assisted chemical etching has been applied to pattern porous silicon regions and silicon nanohole arrays in submicron period simply by using positive photoresist as a mask layer. In order to define silicon nanostructures, Metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE) was carried out with silver catalyst. Provided solution (or materiel) in combination with laser interference lithogr...

GaAs-GaAlAs double-heterostructure distributed-feedback injection lasers are investigated a t temperatures between 80 and 150 K under pulsed operation. The optical feedback for laser oscillation is provided by a corrugated interface between the p-GaAs active layer and the pGaA1As layer. The corrugation is made by two methods, ion milling and chemical etching, and the latter method is found to g...

متن کاملFerromagnetic Ga1ÀxMnxAs produced by ion implantation and pulsed-laser melting
We demonstrate the formation of ferromagnetic Ga12xMnxAs films by Mn ion implantation into GaAs followed by pulsed-laser melting. Irradiation with a single excimer laser pulse results in the epitaxial regrowth of the implanted layer with Mn substitutional fraction up to 80% and effective Curie temperature up to 29 K for samples with a maximum Mn concentration of x'0.03. A remanent magnetization...
متن کاملInfluence of shielding gas composition on weld structure in pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding
This work studied the effect of additions of carbon dioxide to argon shielding gas on the weld shape and microstructure of ST14 steel in pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding. By additions of carbon dioxide up to 15%,the weld area and depth/width ratio decreases while rising of carbon dioxide up to 25% causes increasing of weld area and depth/width ratio. It is observed that the weld metal microstructur...
