Abstract

During plasma etching, surfaces can become roughened because of a variety of mechanisms. One source of roughness is illustrated with molecular dynamics simulations of reactive ion etching of a silicon surface with 25-eV Cl+. The three-dimensional (3-D) image of the chlorinated surface and near-surface region is illustrated.
