Abstract

Profile control in plasma etching of polysilicon is described. Reactive gases are CCl2F2–H2 and CCl2F2–C2H6. Undercutting suppression and sloped wall pattern profile without undercutting are realized. Thin film formation on the etched pattern side wall is observed. These characteristics are explained by the plasma polymerization phenomena which occurs competitively with etching reaction.
