摘要: The chemistry of the GaAs oxides fabricated by local anodic oxidation (LAO) using an atomic force microscope is studied means spatially resolved Auger electron spectroscopy. Oxide structures with nanometric size grown at different bias are investigated. We found that LAO oxide essentially composed gallium oxides. chemical composition does not depend on applied bias.
