The physical structure of the interface between single-crystal GaAs and its oxide film

Thin Solid Films 56 (1979) 163–171

In this paper we are concerned with the determination of the fundamental statistical characteristics of the boundary between a GaAs single crystal and its oxide film formed by thermal oxidation. These characteristics, i.e the standard deviation of height irregularities and the slopes of these irregularities, were determined by optical methods (reflectometry, ellipsometry, interferometry) and by analysis of the traces obtained with a stylus instrument after dissolution of the oxide film. The aim of this contribution was to determine the dependences of the given characteristics on the temperature and time of oxidation.
