  Bird View. Dark area is Silicon. Bright area is Silicon Dioxide. The edges are nicely defined, though corrugated on the 100 nm scale.
  Cross section of a silicon wafer with a multitude of deep reactive ion etched cavities. The shape of these cavities is of interest.

  Close up. Bird View. Dark area is Silicon. Bright area is Silicon Dioxide. Residues of the SiO2 etching are apperent on top of the SiO2, i.e. particles a few nanometers in diameter. Most probably it is sputtered and redopsited Silicon Dioxide, but not confirmed. Attempts to remove them in 7-Up or HCl failed.
  Close up. The feature has a cylindric-parabolic shape and steep sidewalls. The target is to measure the parabolic shape along the depth of the features.
