Abstract

The possible role of desorption induced by electronic transition (DIET) in laser etching of silicon by chlorine is discussed, both in the case of the reaction of gas phase radicals at the Si surface (“photoreaction”) and in the case of the reaction of chemisorbed chlorine (“photodesorption”). While DIET seems to be excluded in the first case, the data are still inconclusive in the second case. Laser heating which cannot be avoided in the experiments performed to date blurs the signature of DIET. However, purely thermal models seem to fail to account for all the experimental data.
