Abstract
ABSTRACTCharacteristics of maskless patterning of Cr films using focused Sb+ ion implantation have been investigated. Dose and depth dependence of the etching rate of Sb-implanted layers during plasma etching using CCl4 were measured. Sb profiles were also measured by Rutherford backscattering techniques. It was found that a sharp threshold dose exists to form an etch-resistant layer by Sb implantation. It was also found that a latent image of an Sb implanted pattern at a dose ≥3.8×1015/cm2 was developed by the plasma etching, and that Cr patterns with a thickness of a few hundred nanometers were formed by the present maskless patterning technique.
