Title: Ion beam processing method and ion beam processing device
Inventor: KODAIRA YOSHIMITSU
IPC: H01L23/544
Filed: 2013-03-14
Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ion beam processing method and ion beam processing device which can minimize the deposition of a re-attachment film even for a fine pattern. According to an embodiment of the present invention, an ion beam processing is performed so that the ion beam entering from the direction a pattern groove on a substrate extends produces a larger etching amount than the etching amount produced by the ion beam entering from other directions. Thereby, a re-attachment film is prevented from depositing on the bottom of a fine pattern groove to allow for the fine pattern processing.
