Pattern transitions on Ge surfaces during low-energy ion beam erosion

Journal Article Ziberi, B ; Frost, F ; Rauschenbach, B - Applied Physics Letters

During sputtering of Ge surfaces with Xe{sup +} ions at 2 keV ion energy at room temperature, self-organized ripple and dot nanostructures with a mean wavelength below 60 nm emerge as the ion incidence angle is varied. Dots evolving at normal ion incidence pass into ripple patterns with increasing ion incidence angle. Furthermore, for ion incidence angles above 10 deg to the surface normal a gradual transition from ripples to dots is observed. Guided by the previous existence of ripples these evolving dot patterns show a long range hexagonal ordering extending across the whole sample surface.

Sharp transition from ripple patterns to a flat surface for ion beam erosion of Si with simultaneous co-deposition of iron

Journal Article Zhang, K. ; Broetzmann, M. ; Hofsaess, H. - AIP Advances

We investigate pattern formation on Si by sputter erosion under simultaneous co-deposition of Fe atoms, both at off-normal incidence, as function of the Fe surface coverage. The patterns obtained for 5 keV Xe ion irradiation at 30 Degree-Sign incidence angle are analyzed with atomic force microscopy. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy of the local steady state Fe content of the Fe-Si surface layer allows a quantitative correlation between pattern type and Fe coverage. With increasing Fe coverage the patterns change, starting from a flat surface at low coverage (< 2 Multiplication-Sign 10{sup 15} Fe/cm{sup 2}) over dot patterns (2-8 Multiplication-Sign 10{sup 15}more »« less

Thermal treatment-induced ductile-to-brittle transition of submicron-sized Si pillars fabricated by focused ion beam

Journal Article Wang, Yue-cun ; Xie, De-gang ; Ning, Xiao-hui ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Si pillars fabricated by focused ion beam (FIB) had been reported to have a critical size of 310–400 nm, below which their deformation behavior would experience a brittle-to-ductile transition at room temperature. Here, we demonstrated that the size-dependent transition was actually stemmed from the amorphous Si (a-Si) shell introduced during the FIB fabrication process. Once the a-Si shell was crystallized, Si pillars would behave brittle again with their modulus comparable to their bulk counterpart. The analytical model we developed has been proved to be valid in deriving the moduli of crystalline Si core and a-Si shell.

Mechanisms of material removal and mass transport in focused ion beam nanopore formation

Journal Article Das, Kallol ; Freund, Jonathan B. ; Johnson, Harley T. - Journal of Applied Physics

Despite the widespread use of focused ion beam (FIB) processing as a material removal method for applications ranging from electron microscope sample preparation to nanopore processing for DNA sequencing, the basic material removal mechanisms of FIB processing are not well understood. We present the first complete atomistic simulation of high-flux FIB using large-scale parallel molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of nanopore fabrication in freestanding thin films. We focus on the root mechanisms of material removal and rearrangement and describe the role of explosive boiling in forming nanopores. FIB nanopore fabrication is typically understood to occur via sputter erosion. This can bemore »« less
