A plasma with a gas mixture of CHF<sub>3</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> is used to etch SiO<sub>2</sub> and Si<sub>3</sub> | A plasma with a gas mixture of CHF<sub>3</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> is used to etch SiO<sub>2</sub> and Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> dielectricas; flour radicals are responsible for etching the dielectrica while oxygen removes the polymer that is formed during the etch. The polymer deposition rate and SiO<sub>2</sub> etch rate are very sensitive to the flow ratio of CHF<sub>3</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> . The current processes have been optimized from this point of view. | ||
