Abstract

See full text

A method for processing a surface, comprising obtaining a substrate comprising an epitaxially grown semiconductor; reacting a surface of the semiconductor and/or a surface of a dielectric layer on the semiconductor, with a reactant comprising a gas or a plasma, to form a reactive layer on the dielectric layer and/or the semiconductor, wherein the reactive layer comprises a chemical compound including the reactant and elements of the dielectric layer or the semiconductor; and processing (e.g., removing, modifying, and/or chemically reducing) the reactive layer, wherein the processing at least smoothens, controls defects at, improves the electrical properties of, or the optical properties of, the surface
