Abstract
Neutral beam etching is proposed as a candidate for reducing plasma-process-induced damage in nanoscale devices. In this paper, neutralization of ion beams due to both gas phase collisions and ion surface interactions based on a PIC (Particle in Cell) simulation of realistic Capacitively Coupled Plasma is presented. It was found that a satisfactory degree of neutralization might be achieved by a combined effect of charge transfer and surface collisions.
