본 논문에서는 비정질 반도체 및 절연체의 etching을 RIE를 사용하여 etching 조건을 결정하는 요인(chamber pressure, gas flow rate, rf power, 온도 등)들을 변화시켜 실험하였고, gas는 비정질 실리콘 박막의 reactive ion etching에 주로 사용되는 $CF_4,\; CF_4+O_2,\;CCl_2F_2,\;CHF_3\;gas$ 등을 사용하였다. 여기서 실리콘 박막의 식각은 $CF_4,\;CCl_2F_2,\;gas$를 그리고 insulator 막인 SiNx 박막의 식각은 $CF_4+O_2,\;CHF_3\;gas$를 사용하였다. 특히 $CCl_2F_2$ gas는 insulator 막인 SiNx 박막과의 식각 selectivity가 6:1로서 우수하기 때문이다. 정확한 control에 의해 높은 수율 (Yield) 을 얻을 수 있어 cost를 절감할 수 있다.

The decomposition of tetrafluoromethane has been investigated with the reaction mechanism proposed for freely propagating $CH_4/CF_4/O_2/N_2$ premixed flames on the oxygen enrichment. The factors affecting on the removal efficiency of tetrafluoromethane were analyzed. The increase in flame temperature due to oxygen enrichment has a great influence on the removal efficiency of tetrafluoromethane. At the same oxygen enrichment condition, the removal efficiency in the rich flame is higher than one in the lean flame. The increase of the F/H ratio leads to decrease the flame temperature and the removal efficiency of tetrafluoromethan is decreased at the flame temperature of 2600 K or lower, The elementary reactions that dominate the consumption of tetrafluoromethane are (R1) $CF_4+M=CF_3+F+M$ and (R2) $CF_4+H=CF_3+HF$. (R1) has the greatest effect on the consumption of tetrafluoromethane under the oxygen enhanced flames.

Cerium dioxide (CeO$_2$) was used as the intermediate layer between the ferroelectric thin film and Si substrate in a metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor field effect transistor (MFSFET), to improve the interface property by preventing the interdiffusion of the ferroelectric material and the Si substrate. In this study, CeO$_2$ thin films were etched with a CF$_4$/Ar gas combination in inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The maximum etch rate of CeO$_2$ thin films was 270$\AA$/min under CF$_4$/(CF$_4$+Ar) of 0.2, 600 W/-200V, 15 mTorr, and $25^{\circ}C$. The selectivities of CeO$_2$ to PR and SBT were 0.21, 0.25, respectively. The surface reaction in the etching of CeO$_2$ thin films was investigated with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). There is a chemical reaction between Ce and F. Compounds such as Ce-F$_{x}$ remains on the surface of CeO$_2$ thin films. Those products can be removed by Ar ion bombardment. The results of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) were consistent with those of XPS. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine etched profiles of CeO$_2$ thin films. The etch profile of over-etched CeO$_2$ films with the 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ line was approximately 65$^{\circ}$.>.

$SrBi_2Ta_2O_{9}$ thin films were etched at high-density $Cl_2/CF_4/Ar$ in inductively coupled plasma system. The etching of SBT thin films in $Cl_2/CF_4/Ar$ were chemically assisted reactive ion etching. The maximum etch rate was 1300 $\AA$/min at 900W in $Cl_2(20)/CF_4(20)/Ar(80)$. As rf power increase, radicals (F, Cl) and ion(Ar) increase. The influence of plasma induced damage during etching process was investigated in terms of the surface morphology and th phase of X-ray diffraction. The chemical residue was investigated with secondary ion mass sperometry.

In this study, the deformation and etch characteristics of ArF and EUV photoresists were compared in a dual frequency superimposed capacitively coupled plasma (DFS-CCP) etcher systems using $CF_{4}/O_{2}/Ar$ and $CF_{4}/CHF_{3}/O_{2}/Ar$ mixture gas chemistry which are typically used for BARC open and $Si_{3}N_{4}$ teching chemistry, respectively. Etch rate of the resists tend to increase with low-frequency source power ($P_{LF}$) and high-frequency source ($f_{HF}$). The etch rate of ArF resist was hgither than that of EUV resist.

핵연료 물질인 금속 우라늄과 이산화 우라늄의 플라즈마 기체에 의한 에칭 연구가 수행되었다. 연구에 사용된 플라즈마 기제는 CF$_4$와O$_2$의 혼합기체이며 CF$_4$/O$_2$의 혼합비. 시편 표면의 온도, R.F power, 그리고 압력에 따른 에칭율을 측정하였다. L-metal의 경우는 R.F power를 50W로 고정하고 아주 낮은 $O_2$의 성분비와 반응시간에 따른 에칭정도를 질량결손으로 계산하였다. $UO_2$의 에칭에 있어서는 CF$_4$/O$_2$의 비가 4:1에서 가장 높은 에칭율을 보였으며 그 에칭율은 최대 1000 monolayers/min 이었으며 U-metal의 경우 그 에칭율은 $UO_2$와 비교하여 10배 가량 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

Research on the dry etching of UO$_2$ by using fluorine containing gas plasma is carried out for DUPIC (Direct Use of spent PWR fuel In CANDU) process which is taken into consideration for potential future fuel cycle in Korea. CF$_4$/O$_2$ gas mixture is chosen for the reactant gas and the etching rates of UO$_2$ by the gas plasma are investigated as functions of substrate temperature, plasma gas pressure, CF$_4$/O$_2$ ratio, and plasma power, It is tentatively found that the etching rate can reach 1000 monolayers/min. and the optimum CF$_4$/O$_2$ ratio is around 4:1.

Abatement of perfluorocompounds (PFCs) used in semiconductor and display industries has received an attention due to the increasingly stricter regulation on their emission. In order to meet this circumstance, we have developed a radio frequency (RF) driven plasma reactor with multiple annular shaped electrodes, characterized by an easy installment between a processing chamber and a vacuum pump. Abatement experiment has been performed with respect to $CF_4$, a representative PFCs widely used in the plasma etching process, by varying the power, $CF_4$ and $O_2$ flow rates, $CF_4$ concentration, and pressure. The influence of these variables on the $CF_4$ abatement was analyzed and discussed in terms of the destruction & removal efficiency (DRE), measured with a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. The results revealed that DRE was enhanced with the increase in the discharge power and pressure, but dropped with the $CF_4$ flow rate and concentration. The addition of small quantity of $O_2$ lead to the improvement of DRE, which, however, leveled off and then decreased with $O_2$ flow rate.
