Gou}, title = {Molecular dynamics simulations of energy effects on atorn F interaction with SiC(100)}, abstract = {In this study, molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate atom F interacting with SiC at 300 K. Simulation results show that with the saturation of the deposition of F atoms on the surface, the compositions (SiF(x) and CF(x) groups (x < 4)) in the reaction layer reach a steady state. When incident energy is less than 6 eV, no etching is observed. With incident energy increasing, the etching yields of Si and C atoms increase. It is found that Si atoms are preferentially removed. For etching products, SiF(4) is dominant. And the main etching mechanism of Si atoms is chemical etching. }, year = {2011}, journal = {Acta Physica Sinica}, volume = {60}, pages = {095203}, month = {Sep}, isbn = {1000-3290}, doi = {10.7498/aps.60.095203}, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 823HVTimes Cited: 0Cited Reference Count: 21}, language = {Unspecified}, }
