Abstract

Beam processing techniques are increasingly important because of their unique capability as nano-device fabrication techniques. These are low temperature processing, high spacial resolution, high material and spacial selectivity and anisotropy, etc. For device fabrication, reduction of processinduced damage is crucial. In the present paper, basic characteristics of electron, ion and photon beam processing for etching and deposition are compared with putting emphasize on the effect of damage and promising techniques to minimize damage.
