Description
Summary:碩士 === 中原大學 === 奈米科技碩士學位學程 === 97 === The local oxidation on ZnSe surface by using atomic force microscope (AFM) under contact mode has been made. The influence of applied bias, tip writing speed, oxidation time and ambient humidity on the oxide size were investigated. Experimental results demonstrated the threshold voltage of tip-induced local oxidation of ZnSe was about 6.24 V. The relation between the oxide height (width)and bias was fitted linearly. The oxide height was increased exponentially with reciprocal of tip writing speed or oxidation time increased. The growth rate of oxide decayed fast as oxidation time increased. Under the same applied bias and tip writing speed, the oxide height were almost the same in different ambient humidity. However, the oxide width was increased as the ambient humidity increased. We think the ambient humidity affected the lateral scale of the water bridge which connect the sample surface and the tip of probe.
