Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of enhancing epitaxy and preferred orientation in films on solid substrates, which includes forming at predetermined locations, a plurality of artificial point defects or a surface relief structure (7) at the surface of a solid substrate (1). Thereafter a film (8) is deposited on the surface to form a substantially epitaxial or preferred orientation layer in tre film having crystalographic orientation influenced by the geometry of an artificial defect. The orienting influence of the article defects may be enhanged by applying an incident beam of energy (9) to the film (8).
Abstract:
Soft carbon-K X-rays (38) are used to expose a PMMA photoresist (31) on an oxide layer (32) of a silicon substrate (33) through a parent mask (30) separated a distance S from the resist by a spacer (34). The parent mask slits (12, 17) define a pattern of spatial period p, to establish an intensity pattern of period p/n at the resist with S = p 2 /nλ, where λ is the wavelength of the incident radiation and λ
