초록

In this study, $Y_2O_3$ thin films were etched with inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The etch rate of $Y_2O_3$ , and the selectivity of $Y_2O_3$ to YMnO$_3$were investigated by varying $Cl_2$/($Cl_2$+Ar) gas mixing ratio. The maximum etch rate of $Y_2O_3$ , and the selectivity of $Y_2O_3$ to YMnO$_3$ were 302/min, and 2.4 at $Cl_2$/($Cl_2$+Ar) gas mixing ratio of 0.2 repetitively. In x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, $Y_2O_3$ thin film was dominantly etched by Ar ion bombardment, and was assisted by chemical reaction of Cl radical. These results were confirmed by secondary ion mass spectroscopy(SIMS) analysis. YCl, and $YC_3$ existed at 126.03 a.m.u, and 192.3 a.m.u, respectively.
