제목 Atomic scale etching of poly-Si in inductively coupled Ar and He plasmas
초록 For fabrication of novel Si-based devices, device structures with a high aspect ratio are increasingly required. The reactive ion etching is widely used for defining fine features, but energetic ions generated in a plasma are known to cause serious radiation damages. In a low-energy ion system, isotropic chemical reactions caused by neutrals become predominant and the deterioration of the pattern definition will occur. Therefore, a new concept of directional etching with minimum reaction energy is needed. In this work, atomic scale etching of poly-Si was performed by using a cyclic process of etchant adsorption and ion beam irradiation. This process is the same as the so-called "atomic layer etching" of single crystalline Si. Cl2 was used as an etchant gas, and Ar or He ions generated in an inductively coupled plasma was used as an ion beam. It was found that there exists a range of bias voltages where the etch rate is nearly constant. This range of bias voltages for He plasmas was wider than that for Ar plasmas.
