摘要: Surface roughening and smoothing of SiO2 by low energy ion bombardment were investigated using in situ dispersive x‐ray reflectivity. Bombardment nominally smooth surfaces (initial roughness approx. 0.4 nm) 1 keV Xe increases the surface linearly with fluence. initially rough (roughness 0.2–1 H results an exponential decrease fluence at a rate that energy. The has different dependence than etching rate, ruling out simple relation between material removal morphology. A induced relaxation mechanism is suggested for behavior.
