Simulation of polymer-deposition controlled trench etching in silicon

Reactive ion etching has been used to obtain anisotropic silicon trenches with small sidewall angles. This work demonstrates that the sidewall angle can be controlled by the wafer temperature and there exists an Arrhenius-type relationship among isotropic polymer deposition rate, thickness of polymer, and sidewall angle.
