摘要: Abstract We have studied c-Si etching by chlorine and an XeCl laser. Cl 2 is supplied a pulsed valve, allowing large etch rates under very low chamber pressure. The products are using double time-of-flight measurement in which product velocities masses determined independently. For laser fluences ranging from 500 to 1000 mJ cm -2 doses 8 x 10 15 18 , the rate constant nearly equal half Si monolayer per pulse. experimental findings compatible with two-step mechanism, namely chemisorption (with no required) desorption of chloride species.
