This recipe can be used for slow etching of silicon nitride with resist as masking material when normal clamping is possible. Normal clamping is prefered because it give the best and most repeatable cooling of the wafer.

Slow etch of silicon nitride with resist as masking material - on 6" carrier wafer with recess

This recipe can be used for slow etching of silicon nitride with resist as masking material. Here are some test results presented.

Parameter Resist mask
Coil Power [W] 200
Platen Power [W] 25
Platen temperature [oC] 0
CF4 flow [sccm] 20
H2 flow [sccm] 10
Pressure [mTorr] 3


Results Test on wafer with 20% load, by Izzet Yildiz @Nanotech
Etch rate of LPCVD nitride 60-65 nm/min (20% etch load) (Feb. 2014)
Selectivity to resist [SiN : AZ resist] 1:0.75
Wafer uniformity (100mm) ?
Profile [o] ?
