Ge atom layer etching (ALE) on Patterned Wafer
The cross section of a Ge atom layer etching (ALE) patterned wafer was characterized using Scanning Spreading Resistance Microscopy (SSRM). The measurement clearly resolved the trench patterns, showing a peak-to-valley height (left) of 3.4 nm and a corresponding resistance (right) of 73 GΩ.
