摘要

Recently focused-electron-beam-induced etching of silicon using molecular chlorine (Cl_2-FEBIE) has been developed as a reliable and reproducible process capable of damage-free, maskless and resistless removal of silicon. As any electron-beam-induced processing is considered non-destructive and implantation-free due to the absence of ion bombardment this approach is also a potential method for removing focused-ion-beam (FIB)-inflicted crystal damage and ion implantation. We show that Cl_2-FEBIE is capable of removing FIB-induced amorphization and gallium ion implantation after processing of surfaces with a focused ion beam. TEM analysis proves that the method Cl_2-FEBIE is non-destructive and therefore retains crystallinity. It is shown that Cl_2-FEBIE of amorphous silicon when compared to crystalline silicon can be up to 25 times faster, depending on the degree of amorphization. Also, using this method it has become possible for the first time to directly investigate damage caused by FIB exposure in a top-down view utilizing a localized chemical reaction, i.e.without the need for TEM sample preparation. We show that gallium fluences above 4 × 10 ~(15)cm~(-2) result in altered material resulting from FIB-induced processes down to a depth of ~ 250nm. With increasing gallium fluences, due to a significant gallium concentration close beneath the surface, removal of the topmost layer by Cl_2-FEBIE becomes difficult, indicating that gallium serves as an etch stop for Cl_2-FEBIE.
