Fabrication of sub-50 nm poly-Si/SiO2/Si narrow wires using electron beam lithography and CF4/O2 reactive ion etching
Poly-Si/SiO2/Si narrow wires with widths of less than 50 nm were fabricated using electron beam lithography and CF4 + 10% O2 reactive ion etching techniques. The extraction of optimum processing parameters for obtaining wires with nearly perpendicular sidewalls is reported.
