Abstract
We have fabricated and controlled a novel nanometer scale silicon gap in a separation by implantation of oxygen (SIMOX) structure using the thin film stress generated during high temperature annealing and cooling, and then elucidated the formation mechanism and crystal orientation dependency of the gaps. The technique is very simple and controllable in shaping a wedge type nano-structure with a several hundred-nanometer gap. The fabricated structure has a 190 and 250 nm narrow gap with 2 μm and 11 μm side etching of the buried SiO2, respectively.
