Abstract

Nanometer scale mechanical processing of semi-insulating GaAs surface was performed using a cantilever oscillating atomic force microscope. Oscillating probe tips induce bond breaking of the GaAs surface and generate nano-meter size patterns. The size of the pattern is shown to be fully controlled by the amplitude and the frequency of the external modulation voltage to the piezo-scanner.
