20160004152 | DEFECT REDUCTION IN A SUBSTRATE TREATMENT METHOD - A method for treating a substrate surface uses Neutral Beam irradiation derived from a gas-cluster ion-beam and articles produced thereby including lithography photomask substrates. One embodiment provides a method of treating a surface of a substrate that contains one or more embedded particles or contains sub-surface damage, comprising the steps of: providing a reduced pressure chamber; forming a gas-cluster ion-beam comprising gas-cluster ions within the reduced pressure chamber; accelerating the gas-cluster ions to form an accelerated gas-cluster ion-beam along a beam path within the reduced pressure chamber; promoting fragmentation and/or dissociation of at least a portion of the accelerated gas-cluster ions along the beam path; removing charged particles from the beam path to form an accelerated neutral beam along the beam path in the reduced pressure chamber; holding the surface in the beam path; and treating at least a portion of the surface of the substrate by irradiation. | 01-07-2016 |
