Control of Solid-Excitation-Based Photochemical Dry Etching of Semiconductors by Ion-Bombardment-Induced Damage
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTCarrier-driven photochemcial dry etching of semiconductors can be selectively suppressed by ion-implantation-induced defects. The magnitude of this suppression depends on the semiconductor impurity doping concentration, the ion fluence, and the photo-excitation wavelength.
