Abstract

Etching characteristics of $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ (GST) films were investigated using $Cl_2$/Ar inductively coupled plasma.We examined the etching characteristics such as etching rate and selectivity over oxide films of GST films using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) with various etching parameters such as $Cl_2$/Ar gas mixing ratios, ICP source power, pressure, and bias power. The maximum etch rate of GST film was $2,815{\AA}$/min and the selectivity higher than 12:1 over the oxide films was also obtained at the $Cl_2$ flow rates of 40 sccm.
