New paper exploring metal-assisted plasma etching (MAPE) of silicon is now free in @MaterHoriz! Paper driven by @ImperialBioeng PhD student Julia, postdoc Namphung, with #atomprobe help from @ImpMaterials resident guru James. What did we find? A thread:

For MAPE, both heavily doped n-type and p-type silicon inhibit MAPE, which differs from other etching methods. The paper explores how aspects of the silicon surface and gold nanoparticles give rise to this behaviour. We also use atom probe to study the gold catalyst behaviour.

In the end, this study sheds new light on the MAPE mechanism and begins to build an understanding of how this process may be able to be controlled and harnessed as a new method for etching silicon.
Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy the paper!
