Abstract

To improve the etching rate of silicon. Water in an amount necessary for bringing the dew point of a mixed gas composed of CF4 as a fluorine material and Ar to 10 DEG C to 40 DEG C is added to the mixed gas, and the mixture is plasmatized at the atmospheric pressure. The plasmatized gas is mixed with an ozone-containing gas from an ozonizer (13) to prepare a reaction gas. The reaction gas contains not less than 1% by volume of ozone, a non-radical fluorine-type intermediate such as COF2, and not less than 0.4% by volume of a non-radical fluorine-type reactant such as HF. The ratio between the number of fluorine atoms (F) and the number of hydrogen atoms (H) is (F)/(H) > 1.8. This reaction gas is sprayed against a silicon film (91) (object material) having a temperature of 10 DEG C to 50 DEG C.

The inventors examined the cause in the following manner. For example, the patent documents disclosed above, 2, etc. In the beginning, it will be used as a surname Hydrogen acid is supplied to the substrate containing the wafer in the form of 1 fluoric acid. Therefore, generally, only the (4) reaction of the above formula 3 occurs on the surface of the substrate except for the oxidation reaction of the above formula. In the reaction, 1W is oxidized and becomes volatility, and the newly formed water is (8) (7). «In the case of low substrate temperature, the newly formed water will condense and condense into the condensation layer of hydrofluoric acid on the surface of the substrate. Therefore, as the etching reaction proceeds, the condensed layer will grow and the thickness will increase. On the other hand, the ozone necessary for the emulsification of Shi Xi is dissolved in the condensed layer and diffuses in the condensed layer to reach 134995.doc 200924052. After the surface of the substrate, it can participate in the oxidation of ruthenium. However, if the thickness of the condensed layer is large, the ratio of reaching the surface of the substrate is reduced, and diffusion control in the condensed layer of the odor is generated, resulting in a decrease in the oxidation rate of ruthenium. The reduction of the hydrogen concentration of the two condensation layers may also be the reason for reducing the rate. On the contrary, the problem of the growth of the hydrofluoric acid condensation layer disappears when the substrate temperature is high, but on the other hand, As shown in Fig. 6, the partition coefficient of ozone in gas-liquid is reduced. That is, the higher the temperature, the more difficult it is to dissolve in the hydrofluoric acid condensation layer. (4) The ozone dissolution control will still occur. This results in a decrease in the oxidation rate of the shixi. Therefore, the substrate temperature has a value that causes the ruthenium oxidation rate to become a peak. The temperature of the smelting of about 60 °C is considered to be a better substrate temperature. The distribution coefficient near °C as shown in Fig. 6 is () · ι or so, is only soluble in the overall level of ozone. However, 'self-inhibition of the growth of hydrofluoric acid condensation layer needs to consider '60 ° C system maximum limit temperature, below _ It is difficult to increase the partition coefficient by lowering the temperature. X ′ It is generally considered that hydrogen fluoride in a high concentration of hydrofluoric acid water is more likely to evaporate than water, so if it is high s, the hydrofluoric acid concentration itself is also reduced. In view of the above, in the conventional etch, the enthalpy oxidation rate does not reach a sufficient value even at the peak point, and of course, the etch rate cannot reach a sufficient size. According to the embodiment of Patent Document 4, it is presumed that the amount of H2〇 generated by the etching reaction is large because the HF is formed to have a concentration of about 2.7 times that of COF2. Therefore, it is generally considered that in the case of etching applied to ruthenium, the ozone in the condensed layer is etched, and the etching rate is not significantly increased. Further, as shown in Patent Document 5 and the like, when a radical generated by a plasma is used, if the distance between the space and the substrate is too far, the shell J radical will be lost before reaching the substrate. Ten years, causing the eclipse (four) rate reduction. On the other hand, if the distance between the plasma space and the substrate is too close, the moon will damage the substrate due to the plasma. Therefore, the degree of freedom in the setting range of the distance between the electric destruction space and the substrate is small. It is described that the diffusion in the polycondensation layer is controlled in the same manner as in the case of an oxidizing gas other than ozone (e.g., ruthenium radicals). [Technical means for solving the problem] A new water system is formed in the #3 engraving reaction of the formula 3* because the fluorine-based reactant such as H F has a hydrogen atom. The inventors obtained the following knowledge through the above investigations: the presence of a hydrogen atom in the etched gas also causes a negative impact on the (four) engraving. The present invention is formed based on the above knowledge.

Also, by introducing oxygen-containing gas into atmospheric pressure, it is known that 0 or other oxidative components such as ruthenium or ruthenium 3; A gas containing the oxidizing reaction component can be used as the oxidizing gas. From the viewpoints of oxidizing power or gas enthalpy, it is preferred to use 03. Preferably, the reaction gas contains i vol% or more of ozone as the oxidizing gas. More preferably, the reaction gas contains 3 to Π) of ozone as the oxidizing property. According to the present invention, the oxidizing gas such as ozone can be used to oxidize the cerium, and the (iv) fluorine-based reactant f can be used to carry out the oxygen cleavage. (IV) The fluorine-based reaction material, especially the HF and cerium oxide, generates water. The water reacts with the i-based intermediate substance to produce a fine fluorine-based reaction material; thereby, the water generated in the etching reaction can be consumed. Even if the temperature of the object to be treated is low temperature of i〇>c~5〇艽, It is also possible to suppress the growth of the condensed layer on the surface of the object to be treated; and to improve the solubility of the oxidizing gas such as ozone in the condensed layer by lowering the temperature of the object to be treated, and by suppressing the growth of an oxidizing gas such as ozone. The degree of diffusion of the oxidizing gas such as ozone in the condensation layer is ensured, and the ratio of the number of hydrogen atoms (H) of the reaction gas to the number of fluorine atoms (F) is (f) / (h) > i 8 , which can generate money in the reaction It is surely consumed in the reaction with the fluorine-based intermediate f, so that the growth of the condensed layer can be surely suppressed; thereby, it is sufficient to ensure the diffusion of an oxidizing gas such as ozone in the condensed layer by using I34995.doc 200924052. In the case where the concentration of ozone in the reaction gas is 1 v〇l% or more (preferably 3 to 1〇v〇I%) as the oxidizing gas, the ozone concentration condition and the reaction gas are The conditional interaction of the ratio of the number of fluorine atoms (F) to the number of cesium atoms (H) allows the ruthenium oxidation rate to be sufficiently increased, so that the etching rate can be greatly increased. Further, by making the reaction gas contain 0.4 v 〇 1% The above (preferably 2 to 2.5 vol%) 2HF allows the etching reaction to be surely started, and at the same time, the condensation layer on the surface of the object to be treated is prevented from evaporating and disappearing, and a stable etching reaction can be ensured. Further, by using a non-radical fluorine-based intermediate material, it is possible to avoid a decrease in the etching rate due to the distance between the blowing portion of the reaction gas and the workpiece, or damage of the workpiece, and the like. The freedom of design such as setting is increased. In order to reliably convert the gas-based intermediate material into a fluorine-based reaction material, water vapor may be added to the reaction gas only at the beginning of the reaction. When the object to be treated is amorphous or the like, it is also possible to obtain water from the hydrogen contained in the treated object and the oxygen in the reaction gas, and convert the fluorine-based intermediate substance into a reaction with the water. Fluorine-based reaction substance. Depending on the temperature of the object to be treated, etc., there may be a case where water vaporizes and the hydrofluoric acid condensation phase disappears. At this time, it is preferable to supplement the evaporated portion by adding water vapor to the etching reaction or the supply gas. water. More preferably, the ratio of the number of fluorine atoms (F) to the number of hydrogen atoms (H) in the above reaction gas is (F) / (H) > 3. Thereby, water (h2〇) can be consumed more reliably, and the growth of the condensed layer can be more reliably suppressed from 134995.doc 200924052. Further, the above ratio (F) / (H) can be measured in the following manner. (1) The concentration of the fluorine-based intermediate substance in the reaction gas is measured by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). The number of hydrogen atoms (H) in the fluorine-based intermediate material is determined. (2) A certain amount of the reaction gas is passed through water (acceptable water), and the pH value is measured at the same time to determine the concentration change AH of the hydrogen before and after the passage. This change in concentration is caused by the reaction with HF of the water of the above reaction gas. Therefore, the number of fluorine atoms (F) in the above reaction gas is obtained from the change in concentration. (3) Calculate the ratio (F)/(H) based on the above (1) and (2). The fluorine-based intermediate material is preferably a fluorine-based molecule containing no hydrogen, and for example, COF2 is preferred. COF2 can be easily measured by FTIR in the same manner as HF. Therefore, the monitoring or control of the process can be easily performed. The molar concentration of COF2 in the reaction gas is preferably 4 times or more of HF, and may be 0.4 < (COF2/HF)g 1, or 1 < (c〇F2/HF) gi 5 , It is 1.5 < (COF2 / HF) 2 each, and may also be 2 < (c〇F2 / HF). The fluorine-based intermediate material may be formed by reacting with water to form a reaction substance such as yttrium, and is not limited to c〇f2, and may be hydrogen containing CF3〇H or the like. The formation of the oxidizing gas such as ozone and the formation of the fluorine-based reaction material and the intermediate material are preferably a branching line, and then mixing to form the reaction gas; thereby, the button can be surely increased. Engraving rate. The gas containing oxygen is introduced into the ozone generator to generate ozone as the emulsified gas. Thereby, oxygen having a high concentration of odor I34995.doc 200924052 can be surely obtained as the oxidizing gas. The better amount of ozone added is only ΓΟΡ ^ ^ only for the month b.

If the ozone in the reaction gas comes into contact with the surface of the condensed layer, it is dissolved to the condensed layer at a ratio according to the partition coefficient (Fig. 6) relative to the substrate temperature. Since the substrate temperature is set to be low, such as listening, listening, etc., the distribution coefficient is large, I sufficiently increases the solubility of ozone in the condensation layer. Moreover, because it is at a low temperature, ozone can be prevented from decomposing. The ozone dissolved in the condensed layer diffuses in the condensed layer and reaches the surface of the smectic film 91. By oxidizing the ozone of the membrane 91 (4), the solubility of the ozone is large, so that the (four) (four) degree can be sufficiently improved. The gas of the ^ Μ ^ layer is in contact with the oxidized stone formed in this way, and the oxidized ^ volatility is removed by the suction line ( (Formula (4).

J34995.doc -23- 200924052 Water (vapor) is generated by the above etching reaction (Formula 14). One part of the water (the second item on the right side of Formula 14) reacts with c〇F2 in the reaction gas to form HF (Formula 12). In the two reactions of Formula 12 and Formula 14, water acts as a catalyst. Further, the remaining part of the water produced by the etching reaction (Formula 14) (4H2〇 of the third item on the right side of Formula 14) It is used to form a hydrofluoric acid condensed layer (the fourth term on the left side of Formula 13), and is further consumed in the osmosis reaction of the oxidized stone (Formula 14). The 2HF system of the first item on the left side of Formula 13 and the reaction gas Correspondingly, the HF in the reaction gas is dissolved in the hydrofluoric acid condensation layer from the interface between the hydrofluoric acid condensation layer on the surface of the (F) 91 and the air layer. Further, the 4HF system of the second item on the left side of the formula 13 and the characterization reaction The generator (the formula is the right item on the right) corresponds to the second item of the left side of the formula 13 and the 2HF system corresponding to the c〇F22Hf reaction (the second item on the right side of the formula 12). The reaction of ~14 is a chain reaction in which positive feedback is used as a medium. The chain reaction can be achieved by 5 (rc or less). The temperature of the substrate is adjusted to increase or decrease the amount of HA on the surface of the enamel film. Since the amount of water added to the humidifier 23 is small, the amount of h2 on the surface of the ruthenium film is also small, and the surface of the ruthenium film often exhibits Therefore, it is possible to control the amount of the ruthenium film surface to be sufficient by temperature adjustment of 5 〇t; c or less, and to reliably suppress the growth of the condensed layer. In the above manner, the condensed layer can be prevented from being produced. The diffusion control of the ozone in the ozone allows the ozone to be surely diffused to the surface of the smectite film 91. Therefore, the solubility of the ozone in the condensed layer caused by the above temperature conditions can be increased and the interaction is increased to further increase the oxidation of the ruthenium film 91. speed. 134995.doc •24· 200924052 In addition, the hydrofluoric acid can also prevent diffusion control, so that the etching reaction can be surely performed. Further, by suppressing the growth of the condensed layer, SiF2 generated in the etching reaction can be quickly released from the surface of the substrate 90, and re-precipitation of si 〇 2 can be prevented. As a result, the etching rate can be further increased. The HF in the reaction gas and the HF formed of COF2 in Formula 12 are dissolved in the hydrofluoric acid condensation layer (Formula 13)' to participate in the etching of cerium oxide (Formula 4). The HF (the fifth term on the right side of the formula 14) generated by the characterization reaction is also dissolved in the bismuth acid condensate layer (the second item on the left side of the formula 13), and can participate in the oxidized stone eve of the money (Equation 14) The surface of the ruthenium film is less H2, and it is easy to evaporate.

Maintain the reaction. Further, by the presence of HF in the reaction gas, it is possible to secure H20 for HF-forming COF2 at the start of the treatment.

Therefore, the ratio (F) / (H) of the number of hydrogen atoms (H) participating in the reaction to the number of fluorine atoms (F) at this time becomes (F) / (H) = 2. Preferably, the ratio (F) / (H) is at least 8. More preferably, HF4 in the reaction gas is further reduced to become (f) / (h) > 3.

In 2, the reaction can also be controlled by adjusting the substrate temperature and adjusting the amount of H20 on the surface of the crucible. 134995.doc -26· 200924052 In the following embodiments, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in the above-described embodiments, and the description thereof will be omitted. Fig. 2 shows the second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, in addition to argon (Ar), nitrogen (10) is further used as the diluent gas of the i-type raw material (CF4). In the fluorine-based gas supply system 2, the fluorine-based raw material (CF4) is supplied. In addition to the unit 21 and the argon supply unit 22, a nitrogen supply unit 22C is further provided. The mass supply control unit 25C is connected to the nitrogen supply unit 22C. The mass flow controller 25 (the nitrogen outlet line 26c and the argon V output) The official road 26b merges and merges with the €1 to 4 outlet line 26a. The mass flow controllers 25B and 25C adjust the ratio from the supply unit 22 to the supply unit nitrogen supply unit 22C to an arbitrary mixing ratio. When the peak-to-peak voltage Vpp per unit thickness between the electrodes 27 and 27 is less than 13 kV/mm, the preferred enthalpy is in the range of Aj^55~1〇〇v〇i% and a is 〇~ν〇ι%. There is no such mixing ratio. Thereby, the etching rate can be maintained as a charge. The height is divided (see Example 3). When the peak-to-peak voltage VPP per unit thickness between the electrodes 27 and 27 is VPP = 13 kV/mm or more, preferably Vpp = 15 kv/mm or more, it is possible to be in N2/. The mixing ratio of the core to the enthalpy is set in the range of (Ar + N2) > 45 v 〇 1%, and the etching rate can be maintained sufficiently high (refer to Example 3). The upper limit of the peak-to-peak voltage Vpp per unit thickness between the electrodes 27 and 27 is preferably set to be about Vpp = 20 kV/mm. Thereby, abnormal discharge between the electrodes 27 and 27 can be prevented. A diluent gas containing a mixed gas of Ar and % is mixed with CF4. Thereby, a fluorine-based source gas (CF4+Ar+N2) is produced. The ratio of CF4 in the fluorine-based raw material gas 134995.doc -27- 200924052 (CF4+Ar+N2) is preferably 4 to 90 vol%. This fluorine raw material gas is introduced into the plasma space 27a via the humidifier 23, and is electrified. The operation in the future is the same as in the first embodiment. According to the second embodiment, since not only Ar but also N2 is used as the diluent gas, the running cost can be reduced. By using cf4 as the fluorine raw material' and the diluent gas containing N2, the excited nitrogen radicals in the plasma space 27a can be used to promote the excitation and decomposition of CF4 (see Example 4 (Fig. 8)). The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, the fluorine-based processing gas from the atmospheric piezoelectric discharge portion 24 and the odor-containing gas from the ozone generator 13 are not mixed in the blowing line 29, but are supplied to the ruthenium film from different blowing ports. On the surface. It is also possible to perform the blowing of the fluorine-based treatment gas after blowing the ozone-containing gas. As the fluorine-based raw material, other PFCs such as c#6, c#6, and c3f8 may be used, and CHF3, CHA, or a fluorine-containing compound other than FC (fluorocarbon) such as SF6 NF3 or XeF2 may be used. Instead of CF4. As the diluent gas, other rare gases or inert gases such as helium, N2, and He may be used. The oxidizing gas 'may also use a rolled body' containing an oxygen-based active species such as a ruthenium radical instead of ozone. An oxygen-based active species such as a ruthenium radical can be produced by introducing a gas having oxygen (〇2) into the atmospheric piezoelectric slurry. The method of (4) of the present invention can be applied to the removal of the contaminant containing (4) attached to the surface of the object to be treated, in addition to the pattern (1) of the patterned object to be treated by a photoresist or the like. Wafer or glass coarse 134995.doc -28- 200924052 Flattening of the roughened portion, roughening of the surface or back of the wafer or glass. [Example 1] An example will be described. The etching apparatus 1 shown in Fig. 1 is used. The electrode 27 of the atmospheric piezoelectric slurry discharge portion 24 is a dielectric barrier discharge electrode, and is formed by coating a dielectric layer containing alumina having a thickness of 1 mm on the opposing surface. The area of the opposing surface of the electrode 27 is 140 cm2, and the thickness of the gap 27a between the electrodes is 1 mm. The temperature of the cooling water passing through the electrode temperature regulating line 28 is 65 art. The fluorine-based raw material gas system used a mixed gas of 0.2 slm of CF4 and 1.8 slm of Ar, 2.0 slm. H2〇 having a dew point of 1 VC is added to the mixed gas by the humidifier 23 to generate a humidified fluorine-based source gas, and the humidified fluorine-based source gas is introduced into the interelectrode space 27a, and plasma is performed under atmospheric pressure. Chemical. The supply voltage is Vpp = 0.94 kV and the pulse voltage is 3 〇 kHz, and the supply power is adjusted within the range of 100 to 4 〇〇 w. The plasma forming of the plasma was analyzed by a Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR). As a result, as shown in Fig. 3, it was confirmed that HF and c〇F2 were generated. Further, in the graph of Fig. 3, the vertical axis on the left side indicates the volume concentration of HF and c〇F2 in the derived gas from the plasma generating portion, and the vertical axis on the right side indicates the number of hydrogen atoms (H) and fluorine. The ratio of the number of atoms (F) (F) / (H). The amount of COF2 produced is based on the volumetric flow ratio and is published. 4 times or more. Ratio (F) "H" reaches U with ^ ° with increasing supply power 'the volume of c册F2 increases, and the ratio of the number of hydrogen atoms (H) to the number of fluorine atoms (F) (F) / ( H) has also grown. Further, according to an example of Patent Document 4 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei. No. Hei. No. Hei. No. Hei. No. Hei. No. Hei. No. Hei. The ratio (F)/(H) to the number of fluorine atoms (F) is about 1.74. Compared with the literature, although the HF concentration and the COF2 concentration are lower, the ratio (F)/(H) is larger. . Further, Ηβ after the plasma formation was hardly observed, and it was confirmed that it was less than 1/10 of that before the electrification. Further, a 1.2 slm of ruthenium 2 to which a trace amount of N2 was added was supplied to the ozone generator 16 to obtain 8 vol / 〇, i.e., 0.096 slm. The amount of ozone generated is 4.8% of the fluorine-based gas from the plasma generating unit 24, and is obtained by summing the flow rate of c〇F2 and one-half of the flow rate of HF (when the supplied electric power is 4 〇〇w). About 2.2 times, about 2.2 times, it can be said that it is roughly appropriate size. The ozone-containing gas and the fluorine-based gas from the plasma discharge unit 24 are combined to form a reaction gas, and the reaction gas is blown onto an amorphous crucible on the surface of the glass substrate, and the amount of etching is measured. The temperature of the glass substrate is set to 3 (rc. The measurement result of the button amount is shown in Fig. 4. In the figure, the amount of money is converted into a reaction gas per unit volume (1 L) (4). In addition, according to the embodiment of the patent document 4 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2), the button amount is calculated to be 38 (four) ship. Therefore, according to the present disclosure and the above Patent Document 4 In contrast, although the HF concentration and the C〇F2 concentration are lower, it is possible to obtain the above-mentioned rate of Cong. [Example 2], the amount of water added in the gas of the eight muscles The relationship is investigated. The conditions for the addition of H2 CF to CF4, such as CF4, are as follows. 134995.doc • 30- 200924052 Power supply: 0.165 kW Power supply: Vpp = 13 kV electrode Area: 35 cm2 Further, make a shape of 5 _ 〇 2 and use an ozone generator to make a 03 ν 〇 % (% 比 2 ratio) 03, and mix it with the above-mentioned electric gas to supply the glass. The substrate is etched on the surface of the amorphous ruthenium film. The substrate temperature is set to 2 Gt, 4 〇. (:, thief, three kinds, 敎The engraving rate under each temperature condition. (Further, 6 〇t is the previous general substrate temperature, which is a comparative example.) The results are shown in Fig. 5. It can be seen from the figure that the substrate temperature is the same as before (4) In the case of the addition of the amount of water added to the fluorine-based raw material gas, the smear rate is almost unchanged. It is found that the substrate temperature is 20. The 〇日寺 starts from the vicinity of the sputum water addition amount and is etched. The rate is greatly increased; the etching rate reaches a peak near the water addition amount of the dew point of 2 〇t; and until the dew point reaches the vicinity of the water addition amount of the fastening force, an etch rate sufficiently larger than that of the previous (the substrate temperature is a thief) is obtained. It was found that when the substrate temperature was 4 Torr, the I insect etch rate which was sufficiently larger than the previous (the substrate temperature was 6 (rc)) was also obtained in the water addition range of the dew point of 1 〜. [Example 3] The etching apparatus of Fig. 2 was used. The amorphous germanium is etched, and the fluorine-based raw material gas is obtained by using 4 as a fluorine-based raw material, and diluting the I-based raw material (CF4) with a diluent gas containing a mixed gas of nitrogen and gas 134995.doc 200924052. The ratio of CF4 in the I-based raw material gas (CF4+Ar+N2) is 丨〇v〇l%. The dew point is added to the fluorine-based raw material gas (CFdAr+N2) by the humidifier η. The amount of AO is introduced, and the fluorine-based source gas (CF4+Ar+N2+H2〇) is introduced into the interelectrode space 27a, and is plasma-formed under atmospheric pressure. The discharge conditions are as follows. The thickness of the interelectrode space 27a : 1 mm Voltage between electrodes: Vpp = 12, 13 ' Mkv Frequency: 40 kHz : Fluorine-treated gas after plasma treatment, mixed with ozone-containing gas from ozone generator η (〇3 is about 8%) The sample is blown onto the amorphous film of the sample: the flow ratio of the fluorine-based treatment gas to the ozone-containing gas is set as the process gas: ozone-containing gas = 2:1. The ratio of the flow rate of the composition of the dilution gas (Ar+N2) to the flow rate of % is changed, and the voltage VPP between the electrodes is changed to investigate the amorphous 11 which is opposite to the nitrogen content (N2/(Arma)) of the nitrogen in the dilution gas. #刻刻率. The results are shown in Figure 7: This figure. The vertical axis indicates the etching rate when the workpiece 9 is subjected to one-pass movement (scanning) once with respect to the blow-out. As is apparent from the figure, when the electrode-to-electrode dust VPP is a relatively low voltage (vpp = 12 kV), if the content of the diluent gas is about 45% or less, the rate can be maintained high. In the region where the content of N2 in the diluent gas exceeds 45%, the larger the N2 content, the lower the _ rate. As the electrode „vpp is higher than 12kv, the rate of decrease in (4) is slower (Vpp=13kv~(4) 134995.doc -32- 200924052 in the figure. Is the Vpp a higher voltage (Vpp=i5)? In the case where the niobium content is in the range of about 45% to 100%, the button engraving rate is hardly lowered, and a good buttoning rate which is not limited by the N2 content can be obtained. Therefore, it is found that Ar and N2 can be arbitrarily mixed. [Example 4] cF4 and K were introduced into the plasma space 27a of the etching apparatus of Fig. 2, and plasma analysis was performed to perform luminescence analysis. The I optical analysis apparatus used ρΜΑ·η manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics Co., Ltd. The conditions are as follows: Thickness of interelectrode space 27a: ! mm Electrode between electrodes: Vpp = l 5 kV Frequency: 40 kHz The results are shown in Fig. 8. It is confirmed that CF2+ is obtained by decomposition of CF4 (peak wavelength: 250) ~400 nm). Further, n2 is excited to confirm the luminescence peak of the second positive system (3〇〇~4〇〇nm). According to the peak wavelength of CF2 and the peak wavelength of the second positive band In the case of overlap, the edge can be made by including n in the dilution gas. 2 to promote the excitation and decomposition of cf4. [Example 5] The etching of amorphous germanium was performed using the button engraving device of Fig. 2. cF4 was used as a fluorine-based raw material. Argon gas was used as a diluent gas, and fluorine-based raw material was used as an argon gas. The gas is diluted to obtain a fluorine-based raw material gas (CF4+Ar). The ratio of CF4 in the fluorine-based raw material gas (CF4+Ar) is adjusted within a range of 1 to 100 vol〇/〇. In the raw material gas (CF4+Ar), H2〇 having a dew point of 18°c. 134995.doc -33·200924052 is added. The added fluorine-based source gas (Cf4+Ar+H2〇) is introduced into the interelectrode space 27a. The plasma is subjected to plasma pressure at atmospheric pressure. The discharge conditions are as follows. The thickness of the space between the electrodes 2 7a: 1 mm The voltage between the electrodes: Vpp = 12 kV Frequency: 40 kHz
