摘要
We report the fabrication of ordered arrays of silicon nanopillars via reactive ion etching (RIE). Self-assembled polymer spheres are used as masks for the deposition of hexagonal arrays of Ag islands on a silicon substrate. Following the removal of the polymer spheres, the sample is etched with SF6 and CF4 at 100 W leading to hexagonal arrays of silicon nanopillars. The aspect ratio of the pillars can be influenced by the etching time; maximum aspect ratios of 15:1 have been produced.
