Abstract

This paper reviews our results of modulated ion beam studies of the ion-assisted etching of Si. It is shown that the experimental data of the Si(C12, Ar+) reactive system can be described by a model based upon an ion-bombardment induced amorphousness of the Si substrate and the formation of a mixed surface region of several atomic layers of chlorine, argon and silicon. It is also shown that the model is in general agreement with the experimental data of the Si(XeF2, Ar+) and C(H, Ar+) systems.
