Abstract:

We demonstrate the laser mediated atomic layer etching (ALEt) of silicon. Using a nanosecond pulsed 266 nm laser focused loosely over and in a parallel configuration to the surface of the silicon, we dissociate Cl2 gas to induce chlorination. Then, we use pulsed picosecond irradiation to remove the chlorinated layer. Subsequently, we perform continuous wave (CW) laser annealing to eliminate amorphization caused by the picosecond laser etching. Based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), we observed strong evidence of chlorination and digital etching at 0.

Abstract:

Atomic layer etching driven by self-limiting thermal reactions has recently been developed as a highly conformal and isotropic technique for low damage atomic scale material removal by sequential exposures of vapor phase reactants. Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is currently among the materials of interest due to a large variety of applications including power electronics, solar cells, gas sensors, and photon detectors. In this study, Ga2O3 was deposited by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition using trimethylgallium [TMG, Ga(CH3)3] and O2 plasma at a substrate temperature of 200 °C. We report a newl

Controlled thin film etching is essential for future semiconductor devices, especially with complex high aspect ratio structures. Therefore, self-limiting atomic layer etching processes are of great interest to the semiconductor industry. In this work, a process for atomic layer etching of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) films using sequential and self-limiting thermal reactions with trimethylaluminum and hydrogen fluoride as reactants was demonstrated. The Al2O3 films were grown by atomic layer deposition using trimethylaluminum and water. The cycle-by-cycle etching was monitored throughout the entire

High temperature (>1000 °C) chemical etching using molten KCl or molten KCl+KOH as the etchant has been carried out to remove the mechanical-polishing (MP) induced damage layer from 4H-SiC surface. Atomic force microscopy observations have shown that line-shaped surface scratches that have appeared on the as-MPed surface could be completely removed by KCl-only etching or by KCl+KOH etching (KCl:KOH=99:1 in weight) at ~1100 °C. Between the two recipes, KCl+KOH etching has shown a higher etch rate (6~7 times) and is able to remove ~9 μm and ~36 μm-thick damage layer from the Si (0001) and the

In this paper, we introduce a vacuum cluster tool designed specifically for studying reaction mechanisms in atomic layer deposition (ALD) and atomic layer etching (ALE) processes. In the tool, a commercial flow-type ALD reactor is in vacuo connected to a set of UHV chambers so that versatile surface characterization is possible without breaking the vacuum environment. This way the surface composition and reaction intermediates formed during the precursor or etchant pulses can be studied in very close to true ALD and ALE processing conditions.

In this work, we characterized the wet chemical atomic layer etching of an InGaAs surface by using various surface analysis methods. For this etching process, H2O2 was used to create a self-limiting oxide layer. Oxide removal was studied for both HCl and NH4OH solutions. Less In oxide tended to remain after the HCl treatment than after the NH4OH treatment, so the combination of H2O2 and HCl is suitable for wet chemical atomic layer etching. In addition, we found that repetition of this etching process does not impact on the oxide amount, surface roughness, and interface state density. Thus, na

A layer-by-layer etching strategy is then developed based on the temporal evolution of the local temperature as measured by in-situ Raman spectroscopy

The ferroelectric properties of hafnium oxide and zirconium oxide based thin films are promising for applications in low power electronics, such as ultra-thin ferroelectric tunneling devices.

Therefore, controlling the film thickness without changing the ferroelectric properties has remained challenging.

Atomic layer etching (ALE) is set to be a vital part of the advanced semiconductor manufacturing toolbox, known for its precise control of the film thickness and minimal damage. These benefits are possible due to the sequential self-limiting half-cycles that are employed within an ALE process. Initially, ALE was underestimated due to low etch rates, but it is now experiencing a renaissance due to the requirements imposed by further downscaling.1 The ALE community is mostly divided into two groups: plasma anisotropic and thermal isotropic etching. 2 In this work, the focus is on exploring isotr

Abstract:

The atomic layer technique is generating a lot of excitement and study due to its profound physics and enormous potential in device fabrication. This article reviews current developments in atomic layer technology for spintronics, including atomic layer deposition (ALD) and atomic layer etching (ALE). To begin, we introduce the main atomic layer deposition techniques. Then, in a brief review, we discuss ALE technology for insulators, semiconductors, metals, and newly created two-dimensional van der Waals materials. Additionally, we compare the critical factors learned from ALD to constructing
