We have measured total ablation rates and secondary ion yields from undoped GaAs(100) interacting with slow (v = 6.6 x 10(5) m/s), very highly charged ions. Ablation rates increase strongly as a function of projectile charge. Some 1400 target atoms are removed when a single Th70+ ion deposits a potential energy of 152.6 keV within a few femtoseconds into a nanometer-sized target volume. We discuss models for ablation of semiconductors by intense, ultrafast electronic excitation. [S0031-9007(98)07165-8].
