Title: Atomic structure of machined semiconducting chips: An x-ray absorption spectroscopy study

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/476642· OSTI ID:476642

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has been used to examine the atomic structure of chips of germanium that were produced by single point diamond machining. It is demonstrated that although the local (nearest neighbor) atomic structure is experimentally quite similar to that of single crystal specimens information from more distant atoms indicates the presence of considerable stress. An outline of the technique is given and the strength of XAS in studying the machining process is demonstrated.
