We investigated the etching characteristics of $YMnO_3$ thin films in high-density plasma etching system. In this study. $YMnO_3$ thin films were etched with $CF_{4}/Ar$ gas chemistries in inductively coupled plasma (ICP). Etch rates of $YMnO_3$ were measured according to gas mixing ratios. The maximum etch rate of $YMnO_3$ is 18 nm/min at $CF_{4}/(CF_{4}+Ar)$ of 20%. In optical emission spectroscopy (OES) analysis, F radical and Ar* ions in plasma at various gas chemistries decreased with increasing $CF_4$ content. Chemical states of $YMnO_3$ films exposed in plasma were investigated with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). There is a chemical reaction between metal (Y, Mn) and F and metal-fluorides were removed effectively by Ar ion sputtering. $YF_x$, $MnF_x$ such as YF, $YF_2$, $YF_3$ and $MnF_3$ Were detected using SIMS analysis. The etch slope is about $65^{\circ}C$ and free of residues.

$SrBi_2Ta_2O_{9}$ thin films were etched in inductively coupled $Cl_{2}$/$CF_{4}$/Ar plasma. The maximum etch rate was 1060 $\AA\textrm{m}$/min in $Cl_{2}$/$CF_{4}$/Ar (80). The chemical reactions on the etched surface were studied with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The etching of SBT thin films in $Cl_{2}$/$CF_{4}$/Ar were etched by chemically assisted reactive ion etching. The small addition of $Cl_2$ into $CF_4$(20)/Ar(80) plasma will decrease the fluorine radicals and the increase Cl radical.

In this study, YMnO$_3$ thin films were etched with CF$_4$/Ar gas chemistries in inductively coupled plasma(ICP). Etch rates of YMnO$_3$ increased up to 20% CF$_4$ in CF$_4$/(CF$_4$+Ar), but decreased with furthermore increasing CF$_4$ in CF$_4$/(CF$_4$+Ar). In optical emission spectroscopy (OES) analysis, F radical and Ar* ions in plasma at various gas chemistries decreased with increasing CF$_4$ content. Chemical states of YMnO$_3$ films exposed in plasma were investigated with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). There is a chemical reaction between metal (Y, Mn) and F and metal-fluorides were removed effectively by Ar ion sputtering.

CCP방식의 식각에 있어서 CF4/O2 Plasma Etch에 Ar을 첨가함으로써 Etch특성이 어떻게 변화하는지를 조사하였다. FE-SEM를 이용하여 Etch Profile를 측정하였다. 또한 Elipsometer와 Nanospec을 이용하여 Etch rate를 측정하였다. Ar의 비율이 전체의 47%정도를 차지하였을 때까지 Etch Profile이 향상되었다가 그이후로는 다시 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. Ar을 첨가할수록 etch rate은 계속 향상되었다. Ar을 첨가하는 것은 물리적인 식각으로 반응하여 Etch rate의 향상과 적정량의 Ar을 첨가했을 때 Etch profile이 향상되는 결과를 얻었다.

$SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$ thin films were etched in $Cl_2/CF_4/Ar$ inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The maximum etch rate was 1300 ${\AA}/min$ at 900 W ICP power in Cl$_2$(20%)/$CF_4$(20%)/Ar(60%). As RF source power increased, radicals (F, Cl) and ion ($Ar^+$) increased. The influence of plasma induced damage during etching process was investigated in terms of P-E hysteresis loops, chemical states on the surface, surface morphology and phase of X-ray diffraction. The chemical states on the etched surface were investigated with X-ray spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry. After annealing $700^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in $O_2$ atmosphere, the decreased P-E hysteresises of the etched SBT thin films in Ar and $Cl_2/CF_4/Ar$ plasma were recovered.

$(Ba, Sr)TiO_3$thin films were etched with a magnetically enhanced inductively coupled plasma (MEICP) at different CF4/Ar gas mixing ratios. Experimental was done by varying the etching parameters such as rf power, dc bias and chamber pressure. The maximum etch rate of the BST films was $1800{AA}/min$ under $CF_4/(CF_4+Ar)$ of 0.1, 600 W/350 V and 5 mTorr. The selectivity of BST to Pt and PR was 0.6, 0.7, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show that surface reaction between Ba, Sr, Ti and C, F radicals occurs during the (Ba, Sr)TiO3 etching. To analyze the composition of surface residue after the etching, films etched with different CF_4/Ar$ gas mixing ratio were investigated using XPS and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS).

Bi$_4$-$_{x}$EU$_{x}$Ti$_3$O$_{12}$ (BET) thin films were etched by inductively coupled CF$_4$/Ar plasma. We obtained the maximum etch rate of 78 nm/min at the gas mixing ratio of CF$_4$(10%)/Ar(90%). The variation of volume density for F and Ar atoms are measured by the optical emission spectroscopy. As CF$_4$increased in CF$_4$/Ar plasma, the emission intensities of F increase, but Ar atoms decrease, which confirms our suggestion that emission intensity is proportional to the volume density of atoms. From X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the intensities of the Bi-O, the Eu-O and the Ti-O peaks are changed. By pure Ar plasma, intensity peak of the oxygen-metal (O-M : TiO$_2$, Bi$_2$O$_3$, Eu$_2$O$_3$) bond was seemed to disappear while the intensity of pure oxygen peak showed an opposite tendency. After the BET thin films was etched by CF$_4$/Ar plasma, the peak intensity of O-M bond increase slowly, but more quickly than that of peak belonged to pure oxygen atoms due to the decrease of Ar ion bombardment. Scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate etching Profile. The Profile of etched BET thin film was over 85$^{\circ}$./TEX>.
