ABSTRACTThis articles describes an investigation of the reactive ion etching of tip-on-post and bottle-neck silicon structures used for fabrication field emission devices. The analytical study for the angular distribution of incident etching ions is presented by the simulation with temporal profile evolution. The surface simulations are compared with experimental results. This comparison shows that numerical expression for the angular distribution could be applied for incident ion flux in case tip-on-post and bottle-neck silicon structures.

ABSTRACTThe damage introduced by CH4/H2 reactive ion etching (RIE) and its recovery after thermal annealing has been investigated by Hall measurements and low temperature photoluminescence (PL) on pseudomorphic AlGaAs/InGaAs modulation doped structures. After plasma exposure, the PL intensity has significantly decreased and shifted in energy. In order to study the recovery of the damage introduced by the plasma, thermal annealing was done at temperatures between 350 and 500°C. We observed that the luminescence emission is totally recovered after annealing at 450°C. Hall measurements at room temperature (RT) and at 77K showed that the electrical characteristics of these structures can be restored only after thermal annealing at 500°C.The optimised etching conditions have been applied in a fabrication process for submicron dry gate recessed pseudomorphic delta-doped AlGaAs/InGaAs modulation doped field effect transistors (MODFETs). For a 0.25 mm gatelength device the maximum DC transconductance value was as high as 680 mS/mm. The same value was extracted from measurements at 15 GHz.
