Crystallographic plane-orientation dependent atomic force microscopy-based local oxidation of silicon carbide

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The effect of crystalline plane orientations of Silicon carbide (SiC) (a-, m-, and c-planes) on the local oxidation on 4H-SiC using atomic force microscopy (AFM) was investigated. It has been found that the AFM-based local oxidation (AFM-LO) rate on SiC is closel...
