Abstract
We demonstrated KOH etching with an etching mask amorphized by ion irradiation. Amorphized masks were prepared by irradiating ion species (Ar + , Kr + , Xe + , N + , O + ) at an ion energy of 500 eV with an electron cyclotron resonance ion shower system. The parameters for KOH etching were also studied. In addition, we fabricated structures with an aspect ratio of over 3000 and microfluidic devices using the proposed microfabrication technique. This technique is expected to be useful for the microfabrication of Si structures.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
