摘要:
The process for etching a polycrystalline Si1−xGex layer or a stack includes a polycrystalline Si1−xGex layer and of a polycrystalline Si layer, deposited on a substrate and including, at its surface, a mask of inorganic material, includes main etching step in which the said layer or the said stack is anisotropically etched, using the said mask, by means of a high-density gas plasma of a gas mixture consisting of chlorine (Cl2) and of either nitrogen (N2) or ammonia (NH3) or of a nitrogen/ammonia mixture.
