Research Abstract |
On electrochemical anodic oxidization uniform Al thin film can be self-organized to insulating film with a honeycomb-array of pinhole. The main theme of this study is to prepare a nanometer scaled GaAs Schottky diode using the insulating film as a mask. Prior to the preparation of target mask, the anodic oxidization of bulk Al was investigated with use of 0.5 M oxalic acid. From the atomic force microscope observation the honeycomb array of pinhole was evidently formed under a certain condition. Based on the condition similar anodic oxidization was made for Al thin film on GaAs. As a result a self-organized honeycomb array of pinhole was successfully prepared with a diameter of the pinhole of 30 to 50 nm and a distance between neighboring pinholes of 50 to 80 nm. In the course of another study it is observed that an array of nanometer-scaled Schottky diode was formed in the self-organized manner for the case of In on Si(310). This was done with no anodic oxidization but In evaporation to clean Si(310) surface followed annealing in UHV.
