The magnetized helical resonator plasma etcher has been built. Electron density and temperature were measured as functions of rf source power, axial magnetic field, and pressure. The results show electron density increases as the magnetic field increases and reached $2\times1012cm^{-3}$,/TEX>. The oxide etch rate and selectivity to polysilicon were investigated as the above mentioned conditions and self-bias voltage. We can obtain the much improved oxide etch selectivity to polysilicon (60 : 1) by applying the external axial weak magnetic field in magnetized helical resonator plasma etcher.

본 연구에서는 MICP Etching system 을 이용한 Via contact 및 Deep contact hole etch process 특성을 연구하였다. Langmuir probe 를 이용한 MICP source 의 Plasma density & electron temperature 측정하였고 탄소와 플로우르를 포함하는 혼합 Plasma 를 형성하여 RF frequency, wall temperature, chamber gap, gas chemistry 등의 변화에 따른 식각 특성을 조사하였다. Plasma density 는 1000w 에서 $10^{11}$/$cm^3$ 이상의 high density plasma와 uniform plasma 형성을 확인하였고 $CH_{2}F_{2}$와 CO의 적절한 혼합비를 이용하여 Oxide to PR 선택비가 10 이상인 고선택비 조건을 확보하였다. 고선택비 형성에 따라 Polymer 형성이 많이 되었고 이를 개선하기 위하여 반응 챔버의 온도 조절을 통하여 Polymer 증착 방지에 효과적인 것을 확인하였다. MICP source를 이용하여 탄소와 플로우르의 혼합 가스와 식각 챔버의 온도 조절에 의한 선택비 증가를 확보하여 High Aspect Ratio Contact Hole Etch 가능성을 확보하였다.

[ $Cl_2/Ar$ ] 유도결합 플라즈마(ICP)내의 플라즈마 조성, 이온 flux 및 이온 에너지가 $La_3Ga_5SiO_{14}$ 단결정 wafer의 식각속도, 표면 양상 및 화학량론적 조성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 비교적 높은 ICP source power$({\sim}1000W)$ 또는 높은 $Cl_2$ gas 유량 비율 조건으로부터 최고 약 $1600{\AA}/min$의 실용적이고 조절이 용이한 식각속도를 확보하였다. 식각된 $La_3Ga_5SiO_{14}$ 표면은 식각 이전과 비슷하거나 더 낮은 표면 조도 특성을 나타내었으며 식각 공정 전, 후 표면의 화학량론적 조성에 있어서의 변화는 없는 것으로 조사되었다.

$SrBi_2Ta_2O_{9}$ 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.

We studied InP etch results in high density planar inductively coupled $BCl_3$ and $BCl_3$/Ar plasmas. The investigated process parameters were ICP source power, RIE chuck power, chamber pressure and $BCl_3$/Ar gas composition. It was found that increase of ICP source power and RIE chuck power raised etch rate of InP, while that of chamber pressure decreased etch rate. Etched InP surface was clean and smooth (RMS roughness < 2 nm) with a moderate etch rate ($300\;{\sim}\;500\;{\AA}/min$) after the planar $BCl_3/Ar$ ICP etching. It may make it possible to open a new regime of InP etching with $CH_4/H_2$ - free plasma chemistry. Some amount of Ar addition (< 50%) also improved etch rates of InP, while too much Ar addition reduced etch rates of InP.

Ferroelectric (Ba, Sr) TiO$_3$(BST) thin films have attracted much attention for use in new capacitor materials of dynamic random access memories (DRAMs). In order to apply BST to the DRAMs, the etching process for BST thin film with high etch rate and vertical profile must be developed. However, the former studies have the problem of low etch rate. In this study, in order to increase the etch rate, BST thin films were etched with a magnetically enhanced inductively coupled plasma(MEICP) that have much higher plasma density than RIE (reactive ion etching) and ICP (inductively coupled plasma). Experiment was done by varying the etching parameters such as CF$_4$/(CF$_4$+Ar) gas mixing ratio, rf power, dc bias voltage and chamber pressure. The maximum etch rate of the BST films was 170nm/min under CF$_4$/CF$_4$+Ar) of 0.1, 600 W/-350 V and 5 mTorr. The selectivities of BST to Pt and PR were 0.6 and 0.7, respectively. Chemical reaction and residue of the etched surface were investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS).

Optical Emission Spectroscopy(OES) is a very important technology for real-time monitoring of plasma in a reactor during dry etching process. OES technology is non-invasive to the plasma process. It can be used to collect information on excitation and recombination between electrons and ions in the plasma. It also helps easily diagnose plasma intensity and monitor end-point during plasma etch processing. We studied high density planar inductively coupled BCl$_3$ and BCl$_3$/Ar plasma with an OES as a function of processing pressure, RIE chuck power, ICP source power and gas composition. The scan range of wavelength used was from 400 nm to 1000 nm. It was found that OES peak Intensity was a strong function of ICP source power and processing pressure, while it was almost independent on RIE chuck power in BCl$_3$-based planar ICP processes. It was also worthwhile to note that increase of processing pressure reduced negatively self-induced dc bias. The case was reverse for RIE chuck power. ICP power and gas composition hardly had influence on do bias. We will report OES results of high density planar inductively coupled BCl$_3$ and BCl$_3$/Ar Plasma in detail in this presentation.

The effects of the magnetic field and gas pressure on the etching characteristics were investigated in the axial magnetic field enhanced RIE system. This system has many advantages compared with the conventional RIE system ; the capability of operating at low pressure, low self-bias voltage, high electron density and high etch rate in the low pressure, but also has disadvantages such as the nonconformity of plasma density which intensifies as the magnitude of magnetic field increases. To overcome this problem we made some grooved anode and tried to find the optimal pressure and B-field strength.

As the IT industry rapidly progresses, the functions of electronic devices and display devices are integrated with high density, and the model is changed in a short period of time. To implement the integration technology, a uniform micro-pattern implementation technique to drive and control the product is required. The most important technology for the micro pattern generation is the exposure processing technology. Failure to implement the basic pattern in this process cannot satisfy the demands in the manufacturing field. In addition, the conventional exposure method of the mask method cannot cope with the small-scale production of various types of products, and it is not possible to implement a micro-pattern, so an alternative technology must be secured. In this study, the technology to implement the required micro-pattern in semiconductor processing is presented through the photolithography process and plasma etching.
