Statistical insights into the reaction of fluorine atoms with silicon

Abstract The dependences of silicon etching rate on the concentration of F atoms are investigated theoretically. The nonlinear regression analysis of the experimental data indicates that the reaction of F atoms with silicon is 2nd overall order reaction. The relationship between overall reaction ord...

description Abstract The dependences of silicon etching rate on the concentration of F atoms are investigated theoretically.
