Which outcome during plasma etching arises when ion angular distribution broadens?

💡 Explanation

Micro-trenching increases because ion angular distribution affects the angle at which ions strike the surface, causing non-uniform material removal. The mechanism is momentum transfer from ions to substrate atoms; therefore it leads to micro-trenching rather than other effects because these are caused by isotropic etching.
