Abstract: | The roughness of the semiconductor surface substantially influences properties of the whole structure, especially when thin films are created. In our work 3C SiC, 4H SiC and Si/a-SiC:H/SiO2 structures treated by various oxidation a passivation procedures are studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). Surface roughness properties are studied by fractal geometry methods. The complexity of the analysed surface is sensitive to the oxidation and passivation steps and the proposed fractal complexity measure values enable quantification of the fine surface changes. We also determined the optical properties of oxidized and passivated samples by using visual modelling and stochastic optimization. |
