초록

In this study, etching characteristics of polyimide(Pl) film with $O_2/CF_4$ gas mixing ratio was studied using inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The etch rate and selectivity were evaluated to chamber pressure and gas mixing ratio. High etch rate (over 8000$\AA$/min) and vertical profile were acquired in $CF_4$/($CF_4+O_2$) of 0.2. The selectivities of polyimide to PR and polyimide to $SiO_2$ were 1.15, 5.85, respectively. The profiles of polyimide film etched in $CF_4/O_2$ were measured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with using an aluminum hard mask pattern. The chemical states on the polyimide film surface were measured by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
