Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nanoscale surface roughening and ripple formation in response to ion incidence angle has been investigated during Si etching in Cl-based plasmas, by employing modeling and simulations of plasma-surface interactions and feature profile evolution: our own three-dimensional atomic-scale cellular model (ASCeM-3D) based on Monte Carlo algorithm, and a classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Then, based on numerical results, we demonstrated experimentally the plasma-induced formation of well-defined periodic sawtooth-like ripples of wavelength on the order of several 10 nm, using sheath control plates to achieve the off-normal ion incidence on blank substrate surfaces. Moreover, a comparison of experiments with ASCeM-3D and MD simulations revealed the critical role of ion reflection from microstructural feature surfaces on incidence in plasma- and ion-induced surface roughening and rippling.
