ガスを流入してエツチングするいわゆるフ０ブズマエッ
チング（ドライエツチングの一種）が用いられている。In recent years, for example, when forming a chrome mask for the manufacture of semiconductor devices, a glass substrate is coated with a resist film pattern, and the glass substrate is placed in a plasma etching device. , 18.56" (zl number 100 Watts high frequency'i", force applied, tetrachloride %f (CC14)
So-called bubble etching (a type of dry etching) is used in which etching is performed by introducing gas.

精度を良くすることは難しい。This type of dry etching method has the advantage of forming pattern edges with higher precision than the previously known wet etching method, but because it is a high energy processing method that uses high power, it consumes a lot of power. The power supply is large, and the etching device is complex and unstable. 'Also, in addition to adding high energy, the above OCI 4
Since it is necessary to add about the same amount of oxygen (02) to the gas,
Therefore, the photoresist film is easily damaged, and if the etching humidity and time are not precisely controlled, the photoresist film may be damaged.
Improving accuracy is difficult.

Ｔｏｒｒにする。Place the glass substrate 1 on the support stand 11 inside the reaction container 10,
The entire surface of the support base 11 is structured to receive irradiation light from the ultraviolet light source 12. The inside of the reaction vessel 1O is evacuated by the exhaust gas [118], and CO gas is introduced from the gas inlet I: 114 on the opposite side, heated by the heater 15, and heated as a hot gas of several tens of degrees Celsius onto the glass substrate 1. The pressure is reduced to several Torr.

ボニル化合物（Ｃｒ（ＣＯ）６）が生成され昇華する。The exposed Crpl film on the glass paper plate is irradiated with ultraviolet light to give activation energy, and when the film comes into contact with hot CO gas, a reaction occurs to form the carbonyl compound of Or (Cr(CO )6) is generated and sublimated.
反応容器はＣＯガスが層流となり、絶えず新鮮なＣＯガ
スをＣｒ膜に接触させるように、小型でガスが流れやす
い左右対称な流線型が望ましい。The reaction vessel is preferably small and symmetrical and streamlined so that the CO gas flows laminarly and fresh CO gas is constantly brought into contact with the Cr film.

Also, if the pressure is high, the reaction will not progress, so several To
A degree of pressure reduction of about rr is appropriate. The reaction product 0r(G
! Since 0) a is easily soluble in organic solvents, waste gas treatment is easy, and since it does not contain toxic chlorine gas unlike conventional methods, the reaction system can be simplified from this point of view as well.

エツチング除去することができる。Furthermore, in the conventional etching method using 314+02 gas, a small amount of tungsten was mixed in from the heating element in the Cr film deposited by vapor deposition, and it was difficult to remove the tungsten. In the etching method, since tungsten also becomes a carponyl compound, it can be removed by etching in the same way as the Cr deposited film by the Nubatta method.
