We recently fabricated uniform 1x-nm-diameter Si pillar arrays with a reduced diameter variance (to +/-0.5 nm) and a cylindrical shape, which could be used for the fabrication of the vertical gate-all-around MOSFETs. In this work, we experimentally and theoretically explain how self-limiting oxidation reduces the diameter variance both at the height direction of Si pillar and among nanopillar arrays.
