S. Terakado et al., NEW MICROFABRICATION TECHNIQUE BY SYNCHROTRON RADIATION-EXCITED ETCHING - USE OF NONCONTACT MASK ON A SUBMICROMETER SCALE, Applied physics letters, 64(13), 1994, pp. 1659-1661
Synchrotron radiation (SR)-excited etching of Si using a noncontact ma
sk on a submicrometer scale has been investigated. The blank pattern o
f the noncontact mask was replicated on the etched surface and highly
area-selective etching was realized at the size of approximately 0.4 m
um. The spatial photointensity distribution of SR on the sample determ
ined the depth profile of the etched part of the sample.
