Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable to form a microscopic pattern at a high rate of formation by a method wherein a preprocessing chamber, in which etching gas is brought into the state of radical before it is introduced into a processing chamber, is provided. CONSTITUTION:Etching gas is fed from a gas feeding pipe 1 while a processing chamber 1 is being evacuated from an exhaust hole 16 using an exhaust pump, and the pressure inside the processing chamber 1 is brought into the pressure as prescribed in advance which is between 10Torr and 0.1Torr. Then, high frequency voltage is applied to an electrode 13 from a high frequency power source 14, and plasma is generated in a preprocessing chamber 11. The plasma in the preprocessing chamber 11 is blocked by a wire net 15, and it does not come into the processing chamber 1. As a result, only the radical generated in the preprocessing chamber is fed into the processing chamber 1. For example, Cl2 gas is used as the etching gas when an etching is performed on a polycrystalline Si film. The gas is excited in the preprocessing chamber 11, it is turned to Cl radical, fed into the processing chamber 1, and the Cl radical is abundantly absorbed by the polycrystalline Si film which is formed on a substrate 6 when compared with the raw gas of Cl2.

As semiconductor devices become more highly integrated, dry etching, which uses discharge plasma as a substitute for conventional wet etching, is being used to form fine patterns, but there is a problem in that devices are damaged by charged particles. This device damage is thought to be caused by the #fist of the flat-energy ions and the electric charges of electrons and ions. Therefore, etching using a source with constant energy and no charge is advantageous because it causes less damage to the device. Such a device is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-65136.

However, if you use strong light to obtain a high etching rate, you will not be able to form fine patterns due to light disturbances, so in order to form fine patterns by etching, it is necessary to irradiate with a weak source. In that case, there was a problem that the cutting rate was low.

(Summary of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the dry etching apparatus according to the present invention is provided with a pretreatment chamber that radicalizes the etching gas introduced into the treatment chamber before entering the treatment chamber. Advantageously, the radicalization is carried out by applying radio-frequency power, by microwave and microwave electron cyclotron resonance, or by excitation.

That is, the present invention was made based on the following knowledge of the inventor. Light irradiation in original dry etching has the effect of converting the etching gas into radicals,
There are two effects: promoting the reaction between the molecules and atoms of the etching gas adsorbed on the film to be etched and the film to be etched. Furthermore, converting the etching gas into radicals has the effect of making it easier for the etching gas to be adsorbed onto the film to be etched. In the conventional method using light irradiation, the proportion of energy absorbed by the etching gas from light is small, and this becomes the reaction rate determining factor.

Therefore, in the present invention, the etching gas is made into a radical state using plasma, gas, heat, etc., and is then flowed onto the film to be etched, so that a large amount of the radicals of the etching gas are adsorbed onto the film to be etched. This was irradiated with light to promote the reaction between the adsorbed gas and the 77 pieces to be etched, making it possible to perform high-speed etching with weaker light irradiation than in the past.
