Abstract

The etching of tungsten can be achieved using chlorine or fluorine chemistries. In both cases the selectivity between tungsten and photoresist mask is very low and leads to a slopped etching with a poor C. D. control. So we developped a new process using an intermediate inorganic mask with a chlorine chemistry. The optimisation was carried out using an ECHIP experimental design. In the best conditions a CD control better than O. 1 was achieved with a smoothed tungsten layer 1 thick.
