18. Edge roughness was 5 nm peak to peak, mainly associated with grain structure (50-100 nm lateral grain extent), with occasional more slowly varying excursions of 50 to 100 nm over a 1 μm length of stripe, determined from scanning electron micrographs. Atomic force microscopy gave a rms surface roughness of 3 nm or less.
