Plasma etching includes physical etching and chemical etching. In the physical etching, inert gas such as argon is generally used, after charged plasma is generated, the argon can accelerate bombardment on the surface of the wafer under the action of a strong electric field, and unprotected surface materials are removed through physical actions such as sputtering. The chemical etching adopts process gas capable of reacting with the substance on the surface of the wafer, and after the reactive gas generates plasma, a large amount of ions, electrons and free radicals are contained in the plasma, so that the plasma has strong chemical activity, and when the reactive plasma reaches the surface of the wafer and is adsorbed, the chemical reaction can be rapidly performed on specific etching materials to form volatile products, and the volatile products are pumped by a vacuum system, so that the effect of selectively removing the surface materials is achieved.
