摘要
An isotropic plasma etch process for etching silicon oxide is provided. In an embodiment, a first step, a modification step, includes the use of a fluorocarbon based plasma. This modification step provides for the formation of an interface layer and the deposition of a fluorocarbon film on the surface of the silicon oxide. Then, a second step, a removal step includes the use of an oxygen (O2) based plasma. This removal step removes the fluorocarbon film and the interface layer. To promote isotropic etching, the plasma process is performed with little or no low frequency bias power applied to the system. Thus, ion attraction to the substrate is minimized by providing no low frequency power. Further, relatively high pressures are maintained so as to further promote isotropic behavior.
