The optical reflectivity of a GaAs wafer is found to decrease from about 45% down to about 5% for both the g-line and i-line by oxidation in low-power oxygen plasma at 300°C for 4 hours. The oxide layer on the GaAs top surface used as an in situ antireflection layer for optical microlithography is demonstrated to be effective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
