Abstract

Dopant patterns of 250-nm linewidth have been written in silicon by localized heating with a cw laser beam, and then transferred into positive and negative surface-relief patterns by preferential etching. The tightly focused beam both generates free dopant atoms and simultaneously promotes solidstate diffusion into the substrate. Because of the nonlinear dependence of diffusion rates on temperature, the linewidths of the patterns are substantially narrower than those of both the temperature and the laser-beam profiles on tile surface. In addition, an enhancement is observed in diffusion rates under the strong thermal gradients associated with highly localized heating.
