摘要
By combining the effects of chemical dry etching (CDE) and sacrificial oxidation, a smooth trench sidewall surface with a root-mean-square (Rms) roughness of less than 1 nm was obtained. The possibility of obtaining a smooth surface such as that of a planar metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) by increasing both the CDE etching time and the oxide thickness of sacrificial oxidation appeals likely.
