摘要
As the characteristic dimensions of advanced semiconductor devices:es approach the nanometer scale, characterization at or near the atomic scale is emerging as an essential aspect of materials and device engineering. We have used cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy to elucidate atomicscale structure, and its correlation with material properties and device behavior, in a variety of III-V semiconductor heterostructures. A few representative examples of our recent work in this area are presented, with emphasis on quantitative characterization of atomicscale interface roughness and its correlation with tr;transport properties in InAs/Ga1-xInxSb superlattices, and on atomic-scale compositional structure of alloys in InAsxP1-x/InP and InAs(1-x)P(x)lnAs(1-y)Sb(y) heterostructures.
