Ultimate Top-down Etching Processes for Future Nanoscale Devices
For the past 30 years,plasma etching technology has led in the efforts to shrink the pattern size of ultra-large-scale integrated (ULSI) devices. However,inherent problems in the plasma processes,such as charge buildup and UV photon radiation,limit the etching performance for nanoscale devices. To overcome these problems and fabricate sub-10-nm devices in practice,neutral-beam etching has been proposed. In this paper,we introduce the ultimate etching processes using neutral-beam sources and discuss the fusion of top-down and bottom-up processing for future nanoscale devices. Neutral beams can perform atomically damage-free etching and surface modification of inorganic and organic materials. This technique is a premising candidate for the practical fabrication technology for future nano-devices.
