Abstract
We report the results of surface sputtering of Si using a proto type ion source to utilize a compact cluster ion source which was developed using Os3(CO)12 as a low-damage sputtering source. The surface roughening of Si sputtered with cluster ions with an acceleration energy of 10 keV at incidence angles between 0 and 60° was investigated. The sputtered Si surface was observed using an atomic force microscope and a scanning electron microscope. At incident angles between 0 and 45°, the surface remained smooth while at 60°, roughening was observed.
