← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when excess electrons disrupt covalent bonds in polysilicon during etching?
A)Reduced etch rate due to charge repulsion
B)Anisotropic etching due to bond weakening✓
C)Enhanced passivation from surface oxidation
D)Resist delamination due to thermal stress
💡 Explanation
When excess electrons disrupt covalent bonds, electron-stimulated desorption occurs because the added negative charge weakens specific bonds, promoting atom removal and anisotropic etching. Therefore anisotropic etching results when covalent bonds weaken, rather than etch reduction, passivation, or delamination which derive from other interactions
