A Method for Comparing Dry Etch Equipment

In this paper, we present a verification method to compare the hardware and etch performance of different Oxford Instruments dry etching systems to facilitate etch recipe transfer. The flow-pressure window and the chemical and physical flux within the same flow-pressure window were determined for each system. The chemical and physical fluxes were matched between the investigated systems to yield similar etch results. The method was tested using a continuous SF<inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">6</inf>/O2 silicon etching recipe.

Abstract

In this paper, we present a verification method to compare the hardware and etch performance of different Oxford Instruments dry etching systems to facilitate etch recipe transfer. The flow-pressure window and the chemical and physical flux within the same flow-pressure window were determined for each system. The chemical and physical fluxes were matched between the investigated systems to yield similar etch results. The method was tested using a continuous SF<inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">6</inf>/O2 silicon etching recipe.
