摘要

CF_4 is a common etchant in the microelectronics industry. It is commonly used to etch silicon, silicon dioxide and silicon nitride. The presence of carbon in its molecular structure allows, depending on the process parameters, to obtain highly anisotropic profiles due to polymerization of the walls of etched structures. However, for this gas type, there is an inverse relationship between the anisotropy and the etching rate (ER), which often difficult its application in single step microfabrication processes. In this scope, several efforts have been made to understand the effects of process parameters such as discharge power, gas pressure, flow rate and gas composition on the etching agent concentration (atomic fluorine density, n_F) and ER in CF_4 plasmas. Among these parameters, the effect of the gas flow rate shows different results with respect to n_F and ER depending on how the variation of pressure is made, i.e., under variable or constant gas flow rate (1). It is observed an effect of increase and subsequent decrease in the nF when the gas flow rate (or pressure) is increased; by another hand, for a fixed gas flow rate a minimization of this effect is observed, resulting in high n_F when the pressure is increased by decreasing the pumping speed (1). Si etching experiments realized by Chapman et al for variable flow shows a similar behavior to the ηF (2, 3). At that time, the utilization factor concept was introduced for explaining the flow rate effect on resulting ER (2). This concept seeks to explain the results based on the phenomenology of supply and pumping of etchant gas. However, little is discussed about the chemical kinetics of the neutral and plasma species when this flow effect is taken into account.rnIn this work it was investigated, through the use of a volume-averaged global model for inductively coupled CF_4 plasma, the role of the different processes of production (dissociation, attachment,...) and loss (neutral recombination, surface recombination,...)
