Definitions

  • the thickness of the polymer deposited in the depression formed in the Si-containing material that is the etching target can be more precisely controlled and etching can be more precisely controlled.
  • the carrier gas introduced to carry out bubbling can be exemplified by Ar, He, N 2 , and their mixtures, but there is no limitation to these.
  • the halogenated hydrocarbon- containing gas and/or the C4F603-containing gas is introduced in the liquid state, the method of inducing volatilization by dripping liquid droplets within the plasma reaction chamber 21 is preferably used.
  • approximately 5 to 10 g per 1 liter of water can be used for the first abrasive and 10 to 20 g per 1 liter of water can be used for the second abrasive, but there is no limitation to this.
  • the use of a ceramic-based abrasive for the first abrasive and the use of an alumina-containing ceramic-based abrasive for the second abrasive is preferred, but there is no limitation to this and the abrasive used may be freely selected.
  • the drying step can be executed by blowing, e.g., nitrogen gas, dry air, and so forth, into the container; however, there is no particular limitation to these although an inert gas should be used.
  • the residual amount of moisture can also be further lowered by heating the metal container using a heater.
  • Table 2 and Table 3 give the results of the etching of a silicon oxide film, silicon nitride film, polysilicon, and amorphous carbon film using the apparatus illustrated in Fig. 1.
  • the halogenated hydrocarbon, C4F6O3, and an inert gas were supplied at flow rates controlled by respective mass flow controllers and were mixed prior to introduction into the plasma reaction chamber followed by introduction into the plasma reaction chamber 21.
  • the total flow rate for the halogenated hydrocarbon and C4F6O3 was 10 SCCM, and the inert gas flow rate was 90 SCCM.
  • the gas introduced into the plasma reaction chamber 21 was excited by a plasma.
  • the temperature within the plasma reaction chamber 21 was adjusted to 25 °C by the temperature-regulating mechanism.
  • the pressure within the plasma reaction chamber 21 was adjusted to 30 mTorr by the pressure-regulating mechanism.
  • the thickness of the etched film was measured by ellipsometry for the silicon oxide film, silicon nitride film, and polysilicon film and the etching rate was calculated per the time for which the etching was performed.
  • the thickness of the etched film was measured using a scanning electron microscope (also referred to as "SEM" in this Description) and the etching rate was calculated per the time for which etching was performed.
  • Table 2 gives the results of measurement of the etching rate for the individual etching workpieces at different flow rate ratios between the halogenated hydrocarbon (hexafluoro-l,3-butadiene, C 4 F 6 ) and C 4 F 6 03.
  • Table 3 gives the etching selectivities calculated from the measurement results given in Table 2.
  • the etching selectivity is given by the value provided by dividing the etching rate for the silicon oxide film by the etching rate for the particular film other than the silicon oxide film.
  • the etching performance is evaluated based on the etching rate and the selectivity. Etching is preferably carried out at a fast etching rate and a high selectivity.
  • a low-k film was etched proceeding as in Example 1 and using the apparatus illustrated in Fig. 1.
  • the total flow rate of the halogenated hydrocarbon and C4F6O3 was 6.0 SCCM, and the inert gas flow rate was 94 SCCM.
  • Plasma reaction chamber A 4520XLE from LAM Research Corporation was used.
