To achieve an atomic-scale smooth surface of Si via purely plasma etching, clarifying the etching evolution and mechanism is essential. In this study, we study surface evolution and smoothening mechanisms from the perspective of plasma etching modes comprehensively. The morphology and roughness evolutions of isotropic, orientation-selective, and atom-selective etching are investigated, respectively. The semi-finishing effect is realized through the growing and merging of hemispherical pits during isotropic etching, with the surface roughness being reduced from 103 nm to 0.79 nm. Orientation-selective etching is a roughening process, transforming square-opening pits into pyramid structures. Under the atom-selective mode, an atomically smooth surface with <em>S</em>a 0.17 nm can be obtained. The top-down smoothing process of atom-selective is much more efficient than isotropic etching. Atom-selective etching with a maximum removal rate of 22 μm/min enables the rapid thinning of Si substrate thickness from 715 μm to 90.4 μm within 45 min. Additionally, atom-selective etching is a universal polishing approach regardless of pre-processed methods and is a damage-less process.

However, the continuous DLP printing process releases substantial heat, resulting in a swift temperature rise in the curing area, which may lead to printing failures. Due to the lack of effective means to measure real-time temperature changes of the curing surface during continuous DLP 3D printing, the prevailing approach is to predict temperature variations during printing via numerical simulation. Nevertheless, temperature prediction methods relying solely on numerical simulation tend to be slow and overlook heat exchange dynamics during printing, potentially resulting in prediction inaccuracies, particularly for complex models. To address these issues, this paper proposes a method to combine numerical simulation and a machine learning approach for temperature prediction in the DLP 3D printing process, along with a printing control scheme generation method.

Surface modification through ion implantation to create an amorphous layer on monocrystalline silicon significantly enhances its processability. This paper conducted molecular dynamics simulations to deeply reveal the nanometric cutting mechanism for monocrystalline silicon with an amorphous layer. The influence of the amorphous layer on material removal, subsurface damage, cutting forces, stress distribution, and temperature profiles was analyzed and thoroughly discussed. The calculating results reveal that primary material removal mode transitions from shearing to extrusion under the influence of the amorphous layer. The presence of an amorphous layer can efficiently reduce stress concentration and defects in the nanometric machining process. When the thickness of the amorphous layer equals the cutting depth of the tool, subsurface damage is reduced to approximately 2 nm, indicating that an optimal surface quality is achieved. When the thickness of the amorphous layer reaches more than cutting depth, the hydrostatic stress of the monocrystalline silicon part is significantly lower than the phase transition threshold of 12 GPa, which greatly reduces the occurrence of phase transition. Furthermore, the formation and evolution of shear bands are the primary reasons for the fluctuations in cutting force. The cutting temperature is closely related to structural transformations. The heat generated by shear slip in monocrystalline silicon material is higher than the heat generated by plastic deformation of material in the amorphous layer. Moreover, the heat energy produced by plastic deformation of amorphous layer atoms exceeds that generated by structural transformation of monocrystalline silicon atoms.

Results of the research showed that no springback occurred in the welded area. In order to reveal the vacuum environment LIW mechanism, the surface and cross-section morphological characteristics, weld interface microstructure, interface waveform element content and mechanical properties of laser impact welded Mg/Al dissimilar metals were investigated by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD), energy spectrometry (EDS), and the universal testing machine.
