Abstract

In this study, molybdenum thin films were etched with the various Cl$_2$/(Cl$_2$+SF$_{6}$) gas mixing ratio in an magnetically enhanced reactive ion etching(MERIE) by the etching parameter such as rf power of 185 watts, chamber pressure of 40 mTorr and B-field of 80 gauss. The etch rate was 150 nm/min under Cl$_2$/(Cl$_2$+SF$_{6}$) gas mixing ratio of 0.25. At this time, the selectivity of Mo to SiO$_2$, photoresist were respectively 0.94, 0.50. The surface reaction of the etched Mo thin films was investigated with X - ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).PS).
