Plasma‐Induced Maskless Formation of Quasi‐Periodic Nanoripples on Polymeric Substrates

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Reactive plasma etching is proposed for maskless, rapid, mass‐production of quasi‐periodic nanoripples formed on the area adjacent to the electrode of polymeric substrates perpendicularly placed on the electrode. To this end, a modeling framework is employed for the calculation of particle trajectories, which predicts the angular and energy ...
