Abstract:
The present invention generally provides semiconductor substrates having submicron-sized surface features generated by irradiating the surface with ultra short laser pulses. In one aspect a method of processing a semiconductor substrate is disclosed that includes placing at least a portion of a surface of the substrate in contact with a fluid, and exposing that surface portion to one or more femtosecond pulses so as to modify the topography of that portion. The modification can include, e.g., generating a plurality of submicron-sized spikes in an upper layer of the surface.

Claim (Index 43):
The substrate of  claim 34 , wherein at least a portion of said plurality of irregular features extend from a base to a tip at a level above an original surface of the semiconductor substrate by a distance in a range of about 100 nm to about 300 nm.
