14 Another Motivation for Precise Control of IED Chemical Physical Sputtering E th (I) Low energy ions : No reaction occurs except for pure chemical etching, if any. Sputtering E th (II) High energy ions: chemical sputtering, sub-surface ion penetration, physical sputtering not well-controlled etching, substrate damage. (I) (III) (II) (III) Medium energy ions: Only chemical sputtering. More confined to surface. Etching slows or stops when adsorbed d etchant reacts away. minimum damage, layer-by-layer etching. Layer-by-layer etching, high selectivity, and no substrate damage are/will be critical requirements. To achieve these, one needs to control the IED. Accurate control of peak ion energy. Narrow width of IED. Work with medium energy ions (region III). 14

Characteristics of polycrystalline Si etching with Cl and Ar + beams in high vacuum: Etching exhibits a threshold ion energy of 16 ev. Above this threshold, etching rate increases with the square root of ion energy. Yield (Si atoms etched per io on) E th 16 ev Sqrt. ion energy (ev 1/2 ) 23

Above threshold h etching looks like what we 20 s ON 80 s OFF. expect. Synchronous DC bias in the afterglow at s. Big question (and big problem): What /cm 3 p-type Si causes sub-threshold h etching? 24
25 What Causes Sub-threshold Etching? Spontaneous chemical etching by Cl atoms? - It has been reported that this does not happen for p-type or i-si (only heavily doped n-type). - This is confirmed in our cross section SEMs: no undercutting of the mask. SiO 2 mask Si Therefore spontaneous chemical etching by Cl atoms is not the reason. 25
26 What Causes Sub-threshold Etching? Ar metastable-assisted etching? - Ar metastables energies (11.55, ev for 3 P 2 and 3 P 0 ) sufficient to cause desorption of SiCl x. - Never been reported. Unlikely, given the nearly unit efficient quenching of rare gas metastables on surfaces. Also, Cl 2(g) quenches Ar metastables. - We find pure Cl 2 plasmas have a constant, non-zero etching rate below ~12 ev, suggesting similar sub-threshold etching in Cl 2 and Cl 2 /Ar plasmas. Therefore Ar metastables-induced etching is not the cause of 1.0 sub-threshold etching. 0.5 Relative Etc ching Rate Boundary Voltage 1/2 (V 1/2 ) 26
27 What Causes Sub-threshold Etching? Neutralization of low energy ions? -Ar + releases up to the ionization energy (15.76 ev) minus the work function when neutralized at a surface, sufficient to cause desorption of SiCl x. - Could an Auger electron (or hole created in the valence band), cause a reaction in the chlorinated layer that leads to etching. - If we positively bias the sample to reject low-energy Ar +, sub-threshold etching should stop. Photoassisted t etching (PAE) induced d by light produced d in the plasma? PAE of Si with lamps and lasers in the presence of a high pressure of Cl 2 has been reported. - If we positively bias the sample to reject low-energy Ar +,sub-threshold etching should not stop. Electron-assisted etching? Reported to be very weak effect. Should be much less important in Cl 2 vs dilute Cl 2 /Ar plasmas. - If we negatively bias the sample to reject electrons, sub-threshold etching should stop. 27

(Proportional to VUV intensity?) Photo-assisted etching rate scales as the product of light intensity times halogen coverage. 32
33 Summary Mono-energetic ion fluxes with selectable energy can be formed in the afterglow of a pulsed plasma with synchronous bias of a boundary electrode. This can be used to extract an ion beam through a grid for remote processing such as nano-pantography. The same approach could be used to improve etching processes (nearthreshold energies, better selectivities and less physical damage), but... At low ion energies, photo-assisted etching, mainly from VUV light generated by the plasma, becomes dominant. This seems to be a serious problem for future etching processes. 33
