Abstract :
In this paper, we report the result of surface sputtering of Si using a proto-type compact cluster ion source which has been developed using Os3(CO)12 as a low damage-sputtering source. The surface roughening of Si under the acceleration energy 10 key at incidence angles about 0° and 60° has been studied. The sputtered Si surface was observed by using AFM (atomic force microscope) and SEM (scanning electron microscope).
