  • A parametric cmpariosn of etch rate and etch selectivity has been performed for GaN, InN and AIN etched in chlorine- and boron halides-based Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) discharges. Chlorine-based chemistries produced controllable etch rates (50~150 nm/min) and maximum etch selectivities ~6 for InN over GaN and ~10 for InN over AlN. Maximum etch selectivities of ~100 for InN over GaN and InN over AlN were obtained in boron halides-based discharges and smooth etched surface morphologies were also achieved.

  • In this study, BST thin films were etched with inductively coupled $CF_4/(Cl_2+Ar)$ plasmas. The etch characteristics of BST thin films as a function of $CF_4/(Cl_2+Ar)$ gas mixtures were analyzed using quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS) and optical emission spectroscopy (OES). The maximum etch rate of the BST thin films was 53.6 nm/min because small addition of $CF_4$ to the $Cl_2/Ar$ mixture increased chemical effect. The optimum condition appears to be under a 10 % $CF_4/(Cl_2+Ar)$ gas mixture in the present work.

  • A large-area (830mm ${\times}$ 1,020mm) inductively coupled plasma source with a six internal straight antennas was developed for large area FPD etch process applications and the effects of magnetic fields employing permanent magnets on the plasma characteristics were investigated. By employing the magnetic fields perpendicular to the six straight antenna currents using permanent magnets, improved plasma characteristics such as increase of the ion density and decrease of both electron temperature and plasma potential could be achieved in addition to the stability of the plasma possibly due to the reduction of the electron loss. However, the application of the magnetic field decreased the plasma uniformity slightly even though the uniformity within 10% could be maintained in the 800mm processing area.

  • In this study, $CeO_2$thin films were etched with an addition of $Cl_2$gas to $Ar/CF_4$gas mixing in an inductively coupled plasma(ICP) etcher. The surface reactions of the etched $_CeO2$thin films were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). It was analyzed that Ce peaks were mainly observed in Ce-O bonds formed $CeO_2$or $CeO_3$compounds. Cl peaks were detected by the peaks of Cl $2p_{3/2}$ and Cl $2p_{1/2}$. Almost all of Cl atoms were combined with Ce atoms like $CeCl_{x}$ compounds.

  • In this study, PST thin films were etched with inductively coupled $Cl_2/(Cl_2+Ar)$ plasmas. The etch characteristics of PST thin films as a function of $Cl_2/(Cl_2+Ar)$ gasmixtures were analyzed by using quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS). Systematic studies were carried out as a function of the etching parameters, including the RF power and the working pressure. The maximum PST film etch rate is 56.2 nm/min, because a small addition of $Cl_2$ to the $Cl_2$/Ar mixture increased the chemical effect. It was proposed that sputter etching is the dominant etching mechanism while the contribution of chemical reaction is relatively low due to low volatility of etching products.

  • Electron energy distribution functions and plasma parameters such as electron temperature ($T_e$) and electron density ($n_e$) in low-pressure Cl-based plasmas have been measured. As the $Cl_2/A4$ gas mixing ratio, the $BCl_3$ gas addition and the process pressure increases, the electron energy probability and the electron temperature decreases. In case of source power increases, electron energy probability increases, whereas the electron temperature was not related.

  • BST thin films were etched with inductively coupled $CF_4(C1_2+Ar)$ Plasmas. The maximum etch rate of the BST thin films was 53.6 nm/min for a 10 % $CF_4$ to the $Cl_2/Ar$ gas mixture at RF power of 700 W, DC bias of -150 V, and chamber pressure of 2 Pa. Small addition of $CF_4$ to the $Cl_2/Ar$ mixture increased chemical effect. Consequently, the increased chemical effect caused the increase in the etch rate of the BST thin films. To clarify the etching mechanism, the surface reaction of the BST thin films was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

  • In this study, low-cost, high-speed deposition, excellent processability, high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, chemical stability and corrosion resistance of stainless steel to meet the obsessive-compulsive (0.1 mm or less) were selected CrN thin film. new price reduction to sputter deposition causes - the possibility of sublimation source for inductively coupled plasma Cr rods were attempts by DC bias. 0.6 Pa Ar inductively coupled plasmas of 2.4 MHz, 500 W, keeping Cr Rod DC bias power 30 W (900 V, 0.02 A) is applied, $N_2$ flow rate of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 sccm by varying the characteristics of were analyzed. $N_2$ flow rate increases, decreases and $Cr_2N$, CrN was found to increase. In addition to corrosion resistance and contact resistance, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity was evaluated. corrosion current density than $N_2$ 0 sccm was sure to rise in all, $N_2$ 1 sccm at $4.390{\times}10^{-7}$ (at 0.6 V) $A{\cdot}cm^{-2}$, respectively. electrical conductivity process results when $N_2$ 1 sccm 28.8 $m{\Omega}/cm^2$ with the lowest value of the contact resistance was confirmed that came out. The OES (SQ-2000) and QMS (CPM-300) using a reactive deposition process to add $N_2$ to maintain a uniform deposition rate was confirmed that.

  • 본 연구에서는 자장강화된 유도결합형 플라즈마를 사용하여 이 플라즈마의 특성을 조사하고 또한 산화막 식각에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 자장 강화를 위해 4쌍의 영구자석이 사용되었고, 산화막 식각을 위해 $C_2F_6, CHF_3, C_4F_8$ 가스 및 이들 혼합가스가 사 용되었으며 첨가가스로 $H_2$를 사용하였다. 자장강화된 유도결합형 플라즈마 특성 분석을 위 해 Langmuir probe와 optical emission spectrometer를 이용하여 산화막 식각 속도 및 photoresist에 대한 식각 선택비를 stylus profilometer를 이용하여 측정하였다. 이온 밀도에 있어서 자장 유무에 따른 큰 변화는 관찰되지 않았으나 이온전류밀도의 균일도는 자장을 가 한 경우 웨이퍼가 놓이는 기판 부분에서 상당히 증가된 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 자장이 가 해진 경우, 자장을 가하지 않은 경우에 비해 플라즈마 전위가 감소된 반면 전자온도 및 라 디칼 밀도는 크게 증가되는 것을 알 수 있었으며 산화막 식각시에도 높은 식각 속도와 식각 균일도를 보였다. 산화막 식각을 위해 수소가스를 사용한 가스조합중에서 C4F8/H2가스조합 이 가장 우수한 식각 속도 및 photoresist에 대한 식각 선택비를 나타내었으며 공정변수를 최적화 함으로써 순수 C4F8에서 4이상의 선택비와 함께 8000$\AA$/min의 가장 높은 식각속도 를 얻을 수 있었으며, 50%C4F8/50%H2에서 4000$\AA$/min의 산화막 식각 속도와 함께 15이상 의 식각 선택비를 얻을 수 있었다.
