Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) Induced Surface Roughness Precisely Monitored In-Situ and in Real Time by Reflectance Anisotropy Spectroscopy (RAS) in Combination with Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Figure 1

For four samples scanning electron microscope (SEM) images: (a) and related genuine RAS signal spectra. (b) The top two experimental results correspond to etching of plain GaSb wafers, the bottom ones to plain GaAs wafers.
