Abstract

Cluster ion beam processes provide new surface modification techniques, such as surface smoothing, high rate sputtering and very shallow implantation, because of the unique interactions between cluster and surface atoms. To understand interactions with cluster and surface, Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) observations have been done for single impact traces.

Highly Oriented Pyrolitic Graphite (HOPG) surfaces were bombarded by carbon cluster ions (Va≤300kV), and large ridges and craters have been observed as a result of single cluster ion impact. The impact site diameters are proportional to the cluster size up to 10 atoms, and increase drastically for cluster sizes above 10. This indicates that non-linear multiple collisions occur only when a local area is bombarded by more than 10 atoms at the same time.
