Abstract

Cluster ion beam processes can produce high rate sputtering with low damage in comparison with monomer ion beam processes. Especially, it is expected that extreme high rate sputtering can be obtained using reactive cluster ion beams. High current SF6 cluster ion beams were recently obtained with new modifications in the basic cluster ion beam technique. The cluster size distribution was measured with Time-of-Flight (TOF) method and the mean size of cluster was about 500 molecules. Si substrates were irradiated with SF6 cluster ions at the acceleration energy of 5–45 keV. Sputtering yield with SF6 cluster ions was increased with acceleration energy and was about 2300 atoms/ion at 45 keV. The sputtering yield was about 1000 times higher than that of Ar monomer ions and was also higher than that of Ar cluster ions. It was found that reactive sputtering occurred with SF6 cluster ion irradiation. These results indicate that high-speed fabrication can be realized with reactive cluster ion irradiation at high energy.
