Etching SRN (Silicon Rich Nitride) with nano1.42

This test has been done by Leonid Beliaev

  • 274nm SRN by LPCVD ("6 inch LS" recipe)
  • Substrate: Si/SiO2(1100nm)
  • DUV-lithography: KRF M230Y resist 360 nm, Barc 65 nm, exposure dose 220J/m2
  • Pattern: Grating with period 400 nm and grating bar width of
  • Barc etch in Pegasus 1 at -19 deg, 40s
  • Nano 1.42 at -19 deg, 5 min
