摘要
The interaction of a Cl-2 plasma with a Si(100) surface has been investigated by angle resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and spectroscopic ellipsometry. From XPS, it was found that the amount of chlorine incorporated at the Si surface increases with ion energy. Chlorine is present as SiClx (x = 1-3) with average relative coverages (integrated over depth) of [SiCl]:[SiCl2]:[SiCl3] congruent to 1:0.33:0.1. These relative coverages don't depend strongly on ion energy between 40 and 280 eV. Real-time spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements showed that the layer present during etching is stable when the plasma is extinguished and the gas pumped away. In addition, the equivalent thickness of damaged silicon and silicon-chloride within the surface layer increases with ion energy.
