摘要
We perform local anodic oxidation (LAO) on III-V semiconductor surfaces with the help of an atomic force microscope (AFM). Regular arrays of oxide dots are created by applying a voltage in the range 10-20 V to a conducting tip. We succeed in drawing dots with diameters of 30nm or less and heights of 4-6nm, allowing for lattice periods as small as 75nm. With an anodisation time of 100-250ms per dot, the creation of large patterns is possible provided the drift of the instrument is corrected for.
