摘要
Electrochemical atomic force microscopic (ECAFM) measurement showed that electrochemical dissolution of a p-GaAs(100) electrode in H2SO4 solution was accelerated by the scanning of an AFM tip. When the AFM tip was scanned on the GaAs surface repeatedly, square hollows or wedges with critical dimensions ranging from 100 nm to several mu m were fabricated. The depths of the modified structures were dependent not on the scan rate but on the number of scans as well as the electrode potential. The ECAFM study also showed that the electrodeposition of Cu on p-GaAs electrode surface selectively occurred at the modified sites.
