摘要: A magnetron plasma etching system has a plurality of processing chambers connected to a common transfer chamber. Each processing chamber has a pair of counter electrodes for generating an electric field and a magnet mechanism for generating a magnetic field having an N-S axis crossing the electric field. All magnetic fields are rotated in the same plane. The rotation of the magnetic fields is controlled by a controller. When one of the magnetic fields is rotated, the other magnetic fields are rotated at equal speed such that the directions of N-S axes thereof are parallel and identical to that of the one of the magnetic fields.

摘要: A tungsten silicide layer (104) is etched by plasma etching using Cl2+O2 gas as etching gas. When etching of the tungsten silicide layer (104) is ended substantially, etching gas is switched to Cl2+O2+NF3 and over etching is performed by plasma etching. Etching process is ended under a state where a polysilicon layer (103) formed beneath the tungsten silicide layer (104) is slightly etched uniformly. Residual quantity of the polysilicon layer (103) can be made uniform as compared with prior art and a high quality semiconductor device can be fabricated stably.

摘要: The present invention provides a dry etching method for achieving a satisfactory anisotropic etching of, for example, a semiconductor wafer, particularly, a polysilicon layer formed on the wafer. In the present invention, a mixed gas comprising a first gas containing Br and a second gas containing a halogen element other than Br, e.g., a mixed gas consisting of a HBr gas and a HCl gas, is introduced into a vacuum chamber. The mixed gas is converted into plasma by applying a high frequency power to an upper electrode 5. The plasma region is irradiated, as desired, with an ultraviolet light. The semiconductor wafer is etched with the plasma. The etching is carried out under optimum conditions. For example, the surface temperature of the semiconductor wafer, i.e., workpiece, is maintained at a level falling within a range of between 70.degree. C. and 120.degree. C. Also, the flow rate ratio of the mixed gas is suitably controlled.

摘要: An etching method for plasma etching a polysilicon film layer on a gate oxide film formed on a silicon substrate by introducing a processing gas into an airtight processing chamber comprises a main etching step for etching, by applying high frequency powers to the upper and the lower electrode, the polysilicon film in a depth direction of openings of a mask pattern serving as a mask, and an overetching step for removing, after the main etching step, residual parts of the polysilicon film, wherein in the middle of the main etching step, the high frequency power applied to the upper electrode is lowered down to a specific power level or lower, and the polysilicon film is etched until a part of the gate oxide film is exposed. Anisotropy in the profile can be improved while enhancing the selectivity of etching, and total etching rate can be prevented from being lowered.
