摘要
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements revealed many striations on the Si trench sidewalls fabricated by reactive ion etching (RIE). The trench sidewall surface was rougher when a resist with a rougher surface was employed as a mask, whereas it was smoother when a resist with a smoother surface was employed. This result strongly suggests that the roughness of the resist is one of the causes of the roughness of the trench sidewalls.
