The notching effect in etching of un doped amorphous silicon gate had different characteristics and mechanism comparing with reported ones. The undoped amorphous silicon was etched by using HBr gas plasma, First, in the region of small line width, the potential was increased as a result of ions in the exposed surface of oxide, and the incident ions between the small line width were deflected more wide range, therefore the depth of notching was shallow and wide, Second, in the region of large line width of gate, electrons were charged on the top of photoresist and the side of gate, a part of ions deflected, The deflected ions were locally charged positive on the side of gate, and then the potential difference was produced, therefore, ions stored up more at independent line than at dense line, and nothing became deeper by Br ion bombardment.

In this work, the etching characteristics of ZnO thin films were investigated using an inductively coupled plasma(ICP) of HBr/Ar/$CHF_3$ gas mixtures. The plasma characteristics were analyzed by a quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) and double langmuir probe (DLP). The surface reaction of the ZnO thin films was investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The etch rate of ZnO was measured as a function of the $CHF_3$ mixing ratio in the range of 0-15% in an HBr:Ar=5:2 plasma at a fixed gas pressure (6mTorr), input power (700 W), bias power (200 W) and total gas flow rate(50sccm). The etch rate of the ZnO films decreased with increasing $CHF_3$ fraction due to the etch-blocking polymer layer formation.

Second in the region of large line width of gate electrons were charged on the top of photoresist and the side of gate a part of ions deflected. The deflected ions were partly charged positive on the side of gate and then these partly charged ions produced potential difference. Therefore ions stored up more at independent line than at dense line and notching became deeper by Br ion bombardments.

Giga bit dynamic random access memory(DRAM) requires the capacitor of high dielectric films. Some metal oxides films have been proposed as the dielectric material . And Pt is one of the most promising electrode materials. However very little has been done in developing the etching technologoy Pt film. Therefore, it is the first priority to develop the technology for plasma etching of Pt film. In this study, the dry etching of Pt film was investigated in Inductively Coupled Plasma(ICP) etching system with Cl$_2$/Ar and HBr/Cl$_2$/Ar gas mixing. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used in analysis of sidewall residues for the understanding of etching mechanism. We found the etch residues on the pattern sidewall is mainly Pt-Pt, Pt-Cl and Pt-Br compounds, Etch profile was observed by Scanning Electron Spectroscopy(SEM) . The etch rate of Pt film at 10%, Cl$_2$/90% Ar gas mixing ration was higher than at 100%. Ar. Addition of HBr to Cl$_2$/Ar as an etching gas led to generally higher selectivity to SiO$_2$. And the etch residues were reduced at 5% HBr/5% Cl$_2$/90% Ar gas mixing ration. These pages provide you with an examples of the layout and style which we wish you to adopt during the preparation of your paper, Make the width of abstract to be 14cm.

본 논문에서는 ICP Poly Etcher를 이용한 Dry Etch에서 몇가지 공정조건의 변화에 따른 Etching 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 주요 가스유량들이 증가 할 때, Poly-Si 의 Etch rate는 증가 하였으며 Uniformity는 나빠진 것을 확인 할 수 있었고 다른 특성들은 특별한 변화를 보이지 않았다. 주요 Gas인 HBr의 증가는 PR(Photo Resist)와 Uniformity에 영향을 주었다. 이 논문을 통해 HBr의 유량이 Poly-Si Etching에 영향을 주는 결과를 알아 볼 수 있었고 HBr 가스의 유량 증가가 Polymer의 생성에 영향을 줘 Selectivity와 Uniformity를 증가 시킨다는 것도 확인 해 볼 수 있었다.

The reaction of gas-phase atomic bromine with highly covered chemisorbed hydrogen atoms on a silicon surface is studied by use of the classical trajectory approach. It is found that the major reaction is the formation of HBr(g), and it proceeds th rough two modes, that is, direct Eley-Rideal and hot-atom mechanism. The HBr formation reaction takes place on a picosecond time scale with most of the reaction exothermicity depositing in the product vibration and translation. The adsorption of Br(g) on the surface is the second most efficient reaction pathway. The total reaction cross sections are $2.53{\AA}2$ for the HBr formation and $2.32{\AA}2$ for the adsorption of Br(g) at gas temperature 1500 K and surface temperature 300 K.

The solubilities of hydrogen bromide and methyl bromide in nitrobenzene and in 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene have been measured in the presence and absence of gallium bromide. When gallium bromide does not exist in the system, the solubilities of HBr and MeBr in nitrobenzene are greater than in 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, indicating the greater basicity of nitrobenzene than 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. When there exists gallium bromide in the system, the addition compounds, GaBr3·HBr and GaBr3·CH3Br, have been found to exist in solution. The addition compound of GaBr3·HBr is stable in nitrobenzene but unstable in 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. On the other hand the addition compound of $GaBr_3{\cdot}CH_3Br$ is unstable in both solvents. All of these unstable addition compounds dissociate into components to large extents according to one of the following equilibria or both: $$GaBr_3{\cdot}RBr{\leftrightarrows}GaBr_3+RBr\;GaBr_3{\cdot}RBr{\leftrightarrows}1}2\;Ga_2Br_6+RBr$.$ where R denotes either hydrogen atom or methyl group.

The etching characteristics of Zirconium Oxide ($ZrO_2$) and etch selectivity of $ZrO_2$ to Si in HBr/$SF_6$ plasma were investigated. It was found that $ZrO_2$ etch rate shows a non-monotonic behavior with increasing both HBr fraction in $SF_6$ plasma, Source power, Bias Power, gas pressure. The maximum $ZrO_2$ etch rate of 54.8 nm/min was obtained for HBr(25%)/$SF_6$(75%) gas mixture. From these data, the suggestions on the $ZrO_2$ etch characteristics were made.

정보화 산업의 발달은 DRAM, flash memory 등을 포함한 기존의 반도체 메모리 소자를 대체할 수 있는 차세대 메모리 소자에 대한 개발을 요구하고 있다. 특히 magnetic random access memory (MRAM)는 SRAM과 대등한 고속화 그리고 DRAM 보다 높은 기록 밀도가 가능하고 낮은 동작 전압과 소비전력 때문에 대표적인 차세대 비휘발성 메모리로 주목받고 있다. 또한 MRAM소자의 고집적화를 위해서 우수한 프로파일을 갖고 재증착이 없는 나노미터 크기의 magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack의 건식 식각에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 고밀도 반응성 이온 식각법(Inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching; ICPRIE)을 이용하여 재증착이 없이 우수한 식각 profile을 갖는 CoFeB과 IrMn 박막을 형성하고자 하였다. Photoresist(PR) 및 Ti 박막의 두 가지 마스크를 이용하여 HBr/Ar, HBr/$O_2$/Ar 식각 가스들의 농도를 변화시키면서 CoFeB과 IrMn 박막의 식각 특성들이 조사되었다. 자성 박막과 동일한 조건에 대하여 hard mask로서 Ti가 식각되었다. 좋은 조건을 얻기 위해 HBr/Ar 식각 가스를 이용 식각할 때 pressure, bias voltage, rf power를 변화시켰고 식각조건에서 Ti 하드마스크에 대한 자성 박막들의 selectivity를 조사하고 식각 profile을 관찰하였다. 식각 속도를 구하기 위해 alpha step(Tencor P-1)이 사용되었고 또한 field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM)를 이용하여 식각 profile을 관찰함으로써 최적의 식각 가스와 식각 조건을 찾고자 하였다.
