Abstract

MotivationSemiconductor wafers and many types of optical elementsrequire ultra-smooth surfaces in order to functionas specifiedExamples:Laser gyro mirrors with rms roughness 0.1 nmSilicon gate oxides with thickness 3 nm,rms roughness must be significantly smaller to minimizevariation in the gate oxide
