| Abstract | We report the simple preparation of ultra-thin self-assembled nanoperforated titanium calcium oxide films and their use as reactive nanomasks for selective dry etching of silicon. This novel reactive nanomask is composed of TiO2 in which up to 50% of Ti was replaced by Ca (CaxTi(1−x)O(2−x)). The system was prepared by evaporation induced self-assembly of dip-coated solution of CaCl2, TiCl4 and poly(butadiene-block-ethylene oxide) followed by 5 min of thermal treatment at 500 °C in air. The mask exhibits enhanced selectivity by forming a CaF2 protective layer in the presence of a chemically reactive fluorinated plasma. In particular it is demonstrated that ordered nano-arrays of dense Si pillars, or deep cylindrical wells, with high aspect ratio i.e. lateral dimensions as small as 20 nm and height up to 200 nm, can be formed. Both wells and pillars were formed by tuning the morphology and the homogeneity of the deposited mask. The mask preparation is extremely fast and simple, low-cost and easily scalable. Its combination with reactive ion etching constitutes one of the first examples of what can be achieved when sol–gel chemistry is coupled with top–down technologies. The resulting Si nanopatterns and nanostructures are of high interest for applications in many fields of nanotechnology including electronics and optics. This work extends and diversifies the toolbox of nanofabrication methods. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
