Effect of CHF3/Ar Gas Flow Ratio on Self-masking Subwavelength Structures Prepared on Fused Silica Surface
Based on an advanced technology, randomly-aligned subwavelength structures (SWSs) were obtained by a metal-nanodot-induced one-step self-masking reactive-ion-etching process on a fused silica surface. Metal-fluoride (mainly ferrous-fluoride) nanodots induce and gather stable fluorocarbon polymer etc...

Zusammenfassung: | Based on an advanced technology, randomly-aligned subwavelength structures (SWSs) were obtained by a metal-nanodot-induced one-step self-masking reactive-ion-etching process on a fused silica surface. Metal-fluoride (mainly ferrous-fluoride) nanodots induce and gather stable fluorocarbon polymer etching inhibitors in the reactive-ion-etching polymers as masks. Metal fluoride (mainly ferrous fluoride) is produced by the sputtering of argon plasma and the ion-enhanced chemical reaction of metal atoms. With an increase in CHF
