Abstract

Nanopatterning of Si(100) surfaces deposited with Au films from physical and chemical methods, has been carried out using a AFM set up mounted with a conducting tip. At a tip bias of −12 V, the LAO patterns drawn on various Au/SiOx surfaces have been compared with those on bare Si. The height of the oxide patterns is several times higher in the case of Au covered Si surfaces compared to patterns on bare Si surface. The enhancement in LAO is related to the catalytic activity of Au nanoparticulates at SiOx interface.
