Abstract
Polysilicon etching is a critical process for VLSI. Recently1, HBr appeared to be the best choice for a good selectivity versus oxide and a good profile control. In this paper, we investigated a HBr-Cl2 chemistry in a classical RIE system at pressure below 15 Pa. The etching was performed with either resist or oxide masks. Results were optimized through statistical experimental designs. The influence of the different process parameters: power, pressure and gas flows were detailed. Etching of 100nm patterns, stopping within 70A thin gate oxide (even with a long overetch time) was achieved using the developped process.
