Abstract:Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to study nonthermal-equilibrium reaction dynamics taking place on the surface during dry etching processes. In MD simulations, the motion of each atom is solved numerically based upon pre-determined interatomic potential functions and data of interest (such as sputtering yields, deposition rates, etch products, etc.) are evaluated from statistical averaging of relevant instantaneous data obtained from the simulations. In this paper, we review our recent MD simulatio… Show more
