Nano-scale Patterning of Al thin film on 4H-SiC using AFM tip Scratching

AFM Scratching 기법을 이용한 4H-SiC기판상의 Al 박막 초미세 패턴 형성 연구

Nanoscale patterning using an atomic force microscope tip induced scratching was systematically investigated in AI thin film on 4H-SiC. To identify the effects of the scratch parameters, including the tip loading force, scratch speed, and number of scratches, we varied each parameters and evaluated the major parameter which has intimate relationship with the scale of patterns. In this work, we present the successful demonstration of nano patterning of Al thin film on a 4H-SiC substrate using an AFM scratching and evaluated the scratch parameters on Al/4H-SiC.
