Abstract

GaAs micro crystals in line were grown on a sulfur-terminated GaAs surface by low energy focused ion beam. Ga ions, picked out from a liquid Ga ion source, were accelerated up to 10 KV to obtain a focused ion beam. The ions were given a positive bias to reduce their kinetic energy by retarding lens.The Ga ions landed on the surface softly and formed a series of Ga droplets. By subsequent As molecule supply to the Ga droplet, GaAs micro crystals in line were grown. This method was found to be useful to make fine structures directly on the semiconductor materials.
