    摘要: In microwave dry etching, the substrate/resist etching selectivity is controlled by adding a material, such as an additional gas, to the reaction gas plasma that heats the substrate with greater energy transfer efficiency than the resist. For example, a W substrate having a resist is etched with an SF.sub.6 reaction gas to which is added an Xe gas for generating incident ions that impinge the substrate with greater energy transfer than they do the resist. This produces a greater hot spot temperature for the substrate as compared with the resist to increase the substrate/resist etching selectivity. The hot spot temperature difference can be further effected by applying a bias potential to the substrate during the etching with an RF power supply.

    摘要: At an effective exhaust speed of 1200 liter/s, high frequency power with power surface density of 4.5 W/cm.sup.2 is made to discharge high density plasma, thereby carrying out dry etching. With a gas residence time of 100 ms or less, a gas flow rate controller is provided which has a response time substantially equal to the gas residence time. Etching can be performed at high speed with deposit reaction restrained and high ion current density. Because of the enhanced ion current density, etching providing high selectivity can be made with lowered ion energy. The time required for gas exchange in time modulation etching, multi-step etching and attachment/removal of electrostatic adsorption can be shortened to improve the etching throughput.
