Abstract

Three modes of beam processing are distinguished, characterised by the heat pulse duration. The suitability of each of these modes as a process step in integrated circuit fabrication is discussed with reference to six criteria for applicability. Some conclusions are made as to the eventual application of each mode of processing.
