电子束诱导沉积工艺的优化与简化

Process Optimization and Simplification of Electron Beam Induced Deposition

  • 摘要: 电子束诱导沉积(EBID)因沉积速率慢、沉积物纯度低等缺点,常被限制在IBID工艺前的保护层制备等辅助性工作中。本研究针对工艺的效率提升与流程简化展开系统研究,重点分析了关键工艺参数对沉积速率和效果的影响,并提出了一种基于扫描电镜缩小框功能的简化工艺。研究表明,低加速电压条件下,沉积速率显著提高;束流与沉积厚度呈线性正相关;短驻留时间有助于获得更高的沉积速率。通过优化参数,本研究实现EBID沉积效率达到0.03 μm3/nC,显著优于既往文献报道的效率范围。简化工艺无需依赖复杂的专用程序,操作便捷。特别是在对精度要求不高但重视效率的场景中,优化后的EBID工艺可在某些应用中完全替代IBID工艺。因此,我们认为通过优化聚焦离子束-扫描电镜中电子束诱导沉积的参数,提高沉积速率并简化操作流程,具有重要应用价值,为沉积保护层提供了全新的解决思路与替代方案。

     

    Abstract: Electron beam induced deposition (EBID) is often limited to auxiliary tasks, such as preparing protective layers before IBID processing, due to its slow deposition rate and low deposit purity. This study systematically investigates the improvement of process efficiency and simplification of the workflow, focusing on the influence of key process parameters on deposition rate and quality. A simplified process based on the "shrink frame" function of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) is proposed. The research shows that the deposition rate significantly increases at lower accelerating voltages; the beam current and deposition thickness have a linear positive correlation, and shorter dwell times contribute to higher deposition rates. By optimizing the parameters, this study achieved an EBID deposition efficiency of 0.03 μm3/nC, significantly exceeding the efficiency range reported in previous literature. The simplified process does not rely on complex dedicated programs and is easy to operate. Particularly in scenarios where high precision is not required but efficiency is prioritized, the optimized EBID process can completely replace the IBID process in certain applications. Therefore, we believe that optimizing the parameters of electron beam induced deposition in focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM), improving the deposition rate, and simplifying the operation process has significant application value, providing a new solution and alternative for depositing protective layers.
