  • Abstract
    Our newly developed neutral beam (NB) etching could firstly accomplish the damage-free (defect-free and smooth surface) fabrication of high aspect rectangular Si-Fins. The fabricated FinFETs realize higher device performance (higher electron mobility) than that using a conventional reactive ion etching. The improved mobility is well explained by the atomically flatness of the neutral beam etched surfaces. Our new results strongly support the effectiveness of the NB technology for the nano-scale CMOS fabrication
