Abstract:
A method of processing a trench, via, hole, recess, void, or other feature that extends a depth into a substrate to a base or bottom and has an opening with high aspect ratio (into depth from opening to base or bottom divided by minimum space of the trench therebetween) by irradiation with an accelerated neutral beam derived from an accelerated gas cluster ion beam for processing materials at the base or bottom of the opening.

Claim (Index 1):
Method of treating target microelectronic device surfaces located deeply within high aspect ratio trenches with a range 5:1 to 100:1 aspect ratios, i.e. ratio of the interior space between them, of the trench from opening to bottom divided interior between depth divided by minimum span to effect surface etching, addition or other modification, by directing an ANAB beam down the trench to the device therein to effect such surface modification of the target device without significant impingement on trench sidewalls, doing so without using beam centralization measures, thereby enabling repeatable damage free processing otherwise associated with high aspect ratio beam channels.
