Popis: A brief review of the results of the application of fast neutral particle (FNP) beam sources in the field of the production technology of micro- and nanoelectronic devices published in the literature is presented. Processes such as surface cleaning; sputtering and etching of insulators, simiconductors, and metals; layer-by-layer etching; deposition of thin films directly from beams or by sputtering, and neutral-beam-enhanced deposition; oxidation, nitridation, and fluorination of a near-surface layer; production of the elements of micro- and nanoelectromechanical devices; nanostructuring; and modification of self-assembled organic molecular structures are considered. In addition, the results of investigating a decrease in the degree of degradation of the electrophysical properties of materials and electrical characteristics of device structures when passing from ion-beam technologies to FNP beams are discussed.
