Abstract

The etching of SiO2 was studied during reactive ion etcing (RIE) in an SF plasma.The etch rate of SiO2, the sheath voltage and the wafer temperature were measured as a function of the percentage of SF6 in Ar and as a function of the total pressure.This was done with the purpose of better understanding the etching mechanisms involved.The results are compared with similar experiments carried out with CF4 and Ar [1].Tests to the model formulated will also be given.
