ABSTRACT
The fabrication of
silicon nanohole (SiNH)
using a combination of electron beam lithography (EBL)
and reactive ion etching (RIE) processes is reported. The
optimum exposure dose of EBL process was found to be in the
range of 210-240 μC/cm2 due
to small enlargement of hole diameter after pattern development process. The
anisotropic etching and isotropic etching was achieved at low and high reaction
pressures, respectively. As expected, the etching rate increase with time and RF power.
A relatively smooth and well-defined NH has been obtained at RF power
of 100 W and reaction pressure of 0.08 Torr, which is
suitable to be applied for optical waveguide.
Keywords: Electron beam
lithography; reactive ion etching; silicon nanohole
ABSTRAK
Fabrikasi lubang nano silikon (SiNH) menggunakan gabungan proses litografi alur elektron (EBL) dan punaran ion reaktif (RIE) dilaporkan. Dos pendedahan proses EBL yang optimum telah dijumpai dalam julat 210-240 μC/cm2 kerana pembesaran diameter lubang yang kecil selepas proses pembangunan corak. Punaran anisotropik dan punaran isotropik masing-masing telah diperoleh pada tekanan reaksi yang rendah dan yang tinggi. Seperti yang dijangkakan, kadar punaran meningkat dengan masa dan kuasa RF. NH yang secara relatifnya licin dan bagus takrifannya telah diperoleh pada kuasa RF 100 W dan tekanan reaksi 0.08 Torr, sesuai untuk diaplikasi untuk pandu gelombang optik.
Kata kunci: Litografi alur elektron; lubang nano silikon; punaran ion reaktif
