摘要: We have performed atomic-force-microscopy studies of the roughness and spatial correlation properties surface for three typical LPCVD films silicon: amorphous polycrystalline with a relatively smooth surface, as well hemispherical grains (HSG-Si) having considerable roughness. As follows from analysis function power spectral density function, model self-affine is suitable describing morphology silicon films, while mounded preferable HSG-Si films.
