Abstract

1 and 2 micron wide silicon fin patterns realized using standard g-line UV lithography are oxidized to accomplish nanowires. Simulation results envisage the possibility of silicon nanowire fabrication using top down fabrication approach. Silicon consumption from three sides of the fins reduces their geometries. Stress developed in the oxide leads to a pinch-off in the fins with aspect ratios >3. This pinch-off divides the fin patterns into two parts vertically; upper part converges into silicon Nanowire, buried in silicon oxide. Simulation results for different process temperatures, time and fin aspect ratios are presented in the paper.
