摘要
Using depolarization of the 364 nm light scattered by a small particle on the (100)Si surface, one can obtain allowed 520cm(-1) Raman signal from the localized area of Si around the particle, while the ordinary Raman signal is forbidden by the polarization selection rules. We have realized this scheme using Ag-particle-topped quartz atomic force microscope (AFM) probe immersed into glycerol droplet on Si surface and applied to local stress measurement. Lateral resolution in the range of 100 nm was demonstrated, and stress variation in a strained Si film was investigated.
