Semiconductor surface characterization with scanning tunneling microscopy
Abstract
The use of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) as a tool for characterization and analysis of semiconductor surfaces is reviewed. In addition to atomic-scale imaging for structure determination, STM can also be used in a variety of ways to learn about surface (and even interface) electronic properties.
