Abstract

We calculated Al-Absorption, Al-reflection, and Si-etching probabilities as a function of incident angle and energy using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Variations of the cases of Al-absorption rate and Al-reflection rate are less than that of Si-etching rate. In contrast with general prediction, our simulation results showed that channeling of the <110> direction occurred the most in the case of incident angle between 30degree and 40degree. We investigated that channeling of the <110> directions quite affect Al-absorption rate in silicon. Since Si-etching rate is high and Al-absorption rate by <110> channeling is high, we found that Al ionized physical vapor deposition (PVD) on Si(001) has a different characteristics with Al ionized PVD on A1(111).
