Abstract: | Wells were etched in (100) silicon by different kinds of selective etching and were selectively refilled by using different gas systems. Masking materials were SiO2 and Si3N4; for the refilling the systems SiCl4/H2 and SiH4/HCl/H2 were studied. By using a combination of weak anisotropic gas etching with HCl (Si3N4 films as mask) and of SiH4/HCl/H2 as refilling system, plane surfaces without ridges at the boundary of the mask and without nuclei on the mask were reached. The results were obtained by SEM, light microscopic and profile investigations and are compared with the other kinds of etching and refilling. |
