の点から、優れた均一性を得ることが難しかった。However, the method of the prior art is insufficient in terms of the width and uniformity of the thin wire, and it has not been possible to obtain a quantum well structure of 200 Å or less in which the quantum size effect is noticeable. In other words, in these methods, the quantum wire pattern is formed by scanning an electron beam, but the uniformity of the dimensions and the dose are important factors that determine the width of the quantum wire, and the quantum level However, it has been difficult to obtain excellent uniformity due to the stability of the scanning electron beam.

ず、ぼけを生ずる可能性があった。Since the method involves taking the crystal out of a vacuum or removing the resist through development treatment to re-grow the crystal, there is a possibility that the most important quantum wire region may be contaminated with impurities. In addition, as a method of transferring a fine pattern of electron beam resist to a substrate crystal, Ga ions are implanted through a mask formed by the fine pattern, and the phenomenon of mixed crystallization of the superlattice that occurs when annealing is used. Therefore, there is a possibility that the fine pattern does not become a fine heterostructure as it is, resulting in blurring.

When several atomic layers of CaF2 are deposited through aAs), CaF2 forms a single crystal layer because the difference in lattice constant is small. When this surface is irradiated with electron beam holography,
Fluorine (F) i atoms of CaF corresponding to regions with high electron density in the lattice pattern of electron beam holography are removed, and activated Ca atoms remain in those regions.
