Abstract

The evolution of surface damage in laser direct cleaning (LDC) of nanoparticulate contamination on silicon (Si) was theoretically and experimentally investigated. Nanobumps with a volcano-like shape were found in near-infrared laser cleaning of polystyrene latex nanoparticles on Si wafers. According to the finite-difference time-domain simulation and the high-resolution surface characterization, unusual particle-induced optical field enhancement in the vicinity of the interface between Si and nanoparticles is mainly responsible for the generation of volcano-like nanobumps. This work is of fundamental significance for the understanding of the laser–particle interaction during LDC and will promote the development of nanofabrication and nanoparticle cleaning applications in optics, microelectromechanical systems, and semiconductors.
