摘要: In order to establish whether atomic force microscope (AFM) grown SiO2 is appropriate for use as a gate oxide in nanoelectronics, characterization of these films needs be performed. this paper results on AFM fabrication and topographical large-area patterns are presented. This centred around the surface SiO2-Si interface roughness, due its importance relation quality ultrathin dielectrics. Our show quite similar values those obtained thermal oxides thus we suggest that AFM-grown suitable candidate applications nanodevices.
