摘要
The evolution of the shape of oxidized V-grooves on (0 0 1) Si under high-dose Get ion irradiation has been studied experimentally as well as theoretically. The V-grooves were formed by anisotropic etching and dry oxidation. A novel model of the surface evolution was developed including sputtering. re-deposition and swelling. The analytical equation was solved numerically for the V-groove geometry resulting in good agreement with cross-sectional TEM pictures. It is shown that sputtered material accumulates at the bottom of the V-grooves. This suggests also an accumulation of the implanted species, which can result in the formation of a very thin Ge-wire during subsequent annealing. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
