RIE lag, inverse RIE lag

Observation of Microscopic Nonuniformity during Overetch in Polysilicon Gate Etching, Mutumi Tuda and Kouichi Ono, Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. Vol.36(1997) L518-L521

Moreover, it was predicted that simultaneous surface-inhibitor deposition during etching gives rise to the inverse RIE lag. (8,12)

"reverse RIE lag"とも言うらしい
Examples include reverse reactive ion etching (RIE) lag and the smoothing of microscopic roughness in regions near a mask edge.
