摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses scanning tunneling microscopy in semiconductors. The identification of lattice defects semiconductors is a difficult task, as it relies on the interpretation complex and indirect spectroscopic methods, such electron paramagnetic resonance or localized vibrational mode spectroscopy. Scanning probe methods (SPM), especially (STM) ultrahigh vacuum (UHV), offer required atomic resolution, but only for sample surface, not embedded bulk material. surface preparation, typically involving high-temperature heat treatment to prepare an atomically clear prevents extrapolation conclusions from frequently observed point-like defects, missing atoms—vacancies—to their counterparts. Cross-sectional (XSTM) tool that extends STMs unique power, scale study geometric, electronic structure surfaces real space, probing related features, defects.
