Microstructuring of silicon with femtosecond laser pulses

Her, Tsing-Hua, Finlay, Richard J., Wu, Claudia, Deliwala, Shrenik, Mazur, Eric·1998·Applied Physics Letters

Abstract

We report that silicon surfaces develop an array of sharp conical spikes when irradiated with 500 laser pulses of 100-fs duration, 10-kJ/m2 fluence in 500-Torr SF6 or Cl2. The spikes are up to 40-μm tall, and taper to about 1-μm diam at the tip. Irradiation of silicon surfaces in N2, Ne, or vacuum creates structured surfaces, but does not create sharp conical spikes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
