    • A plasma etching system capable of preventing ion incident image and satisfying a high anisotropy and a high etching rate and a method using the same. A stage contains a high permeability material layer and it has a potential directly dropped to ground level, and magnetic lines of a magnetic field diffused from a plasma generation source are rendered incident on the stage in the direction substantially perpendicular thereto. This allows negative ions as well as positive ions in plasma to be incident on a substrate to be etched in the direction perpendicular thereto along the magnetic lines. As a result, since acceleration of ions by a sheath is not used it is possible to effectively prevent damage of the substrate.

When the Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 underlying film 3 is exposed, N atoms in the film and S atoms in a plasma are combined to form (SN).sub.x.

    • A dry etching method for performing one-stage anisotropic etching of a W-polycide film without using a CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) gas is disclosed. The W-polycide film on a substrate is etched by using sulfur halide such as S.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and S.sub.2 Br.sub.2 for an etching gas while heating the substrate within a temperature range of up to 90.degree. C. Free S released from the sulfur halide is deposited on the substrate within the temperature range, thereby contributing to improvement of selectivity and anisotropy, and Cl.sup.* and Br.sup.* become etchants. Although WCl.sub.x and WBr.sub.x, which are etching reaction products, have low vapor pressure at a normal temperature and under normal pressure, WCl.sub.x and WBr.sub.x may be eliminated sufficiently under reduced pressure and heated conditions. Since F.sup.* is not formed in a plasma, no undercut is generated on an underlying polysilicon layer. Also, since C does not exist, particle pollution can be prevented and selectivity for a gate oxide film can be improved. If a nitrogen based compound, such as N.sub.2, is added to the sulfur halide, deposition of sulfur nitride based compounds can be expected, and the wafer heating temperature can be raised up to 130.degree. C.

    • A method of dry etching a GaAs/AlGaAs stacked system with high selectivity without employing a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gas. When selectively etching an n.sup.+ -GaAs layer stacked on an n.sup.+ -AlGaAs layer for forming e.g. a gate recess of a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), a gas having a composition capable of yielding free sulfur (S) and fluorine radicals (F*) in a plasma under conditions of discharge dissociation is used as an etching gas. S is deposited on a pattern sidewall to form a sidewall protection film to contribute to anisotropic etching. On the other hand, F* plays the role of formation of AlF.sub.x with low vapor pressure on an exposed surface of the underlayer of n.sup.+ -AlGaAs to stop etching, to say nothing of a role of an etchant. Although a gas system which is by far the simplest is a mixed system of S.sub.2 F.sub.2 /Xe, a gas system may be employed which is capable of generating Cl* or Br* for producing a reaction product having a high vapor pressure or augmenting S deposition. More concretely, mixed systems of S.sub.2 F.sub.2 /Cl.sub.2, S.sub.2 F.sub.2 /S.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 or S.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 /ClF.sub.3 may be employed.

    • A dry etching method for performing anisotropic etching of a layer of a silicon based material without using a chlorofluorocarbon gas, is proposed. Sulfur halides yielding free sulfur (S) into a plasma under conditions of dissociation by electrical discharge, such as S.sub.2 F.sub.2 or S.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, are used as main components of the etching gas. This S is used for sidewall protection and for improving selectivity during etching, and is removed by sublimation by heating the wafer after etching. Although etching may be achieved by S.sub.2 F.sub.2 alone, suitable measures may preferably be used to increase the S/X ratio of an etching reaction system, which is a ratio of the number of atoms of S to that of X or a halogen, because the layer of the silicon based material is highly susceptible to halogen radicals. Specifically, optimum results may be obtained by (a) adding H.sub.2, H.sub.2 S or SiH.sub.4 to the etching gas, (b) introducing hydrogen in advance into an area for etching by ion implantation, (c) using a silicon-containing resist mask, or (d) by coating the surface of a wafer cover with an amorphous silicon layer.
    • 提出了不使用氯氟烃气体进行硅基材料层的各向异性蚀刻的干式蚀刻方法。 作为蚀刻气体的主要成分,使用通过放电解离的条件(如S2F2或S2Cl2)在游离硫(S)中产生游离硫(S)的硫化物。 该S用于侧壁保护和用于在蚀刻期间提高选择性,并且通过在蚀刻之后加热晶片而通过升华除去。 虽然可以仅通过S2F2实现蚀刻,但是优选地可以采用适当的措施来提高蚀刻反应体系的S / X比,其是S的原子数与X或卤素的原子数之比,因为层 的硅基材料对卤素自由基非常敏感。 具体地,可以通过(a)向蚀刻气体中添加H2,H2S或SiH4,(b)预先将氢引入到通过离子注入蚀刻的区域中,(c)使用含硅抗蚀剂掩模或 (d)通过用非晶硅层涂覆晶片盖的表面。

    • A dry etching method using no organic resist mask without involving an increase in the number of necessary processes or wafer surface steps. Conventionally, a nitrogen based compound film is formed as a thin anti-reflection film on a gate electrode or aluminum (Al) metallization layer. The nitrogen based compound film thus formed can be used as an etching mask for the material layer by using etching gas capable of forming sulfur (S) in a plasma when dissociated by electric discharges. For instance, a W polycide film masked by a TiON anti-reflection film patterned into a predetermined shape can be etched by S.sub.2 F.sub.2 /H.sub.2 mixed gas. In this case, a nitrogen (N) dangling bond formed on the surface of the TiON anti-reflection film combines with sulfur supplied by S.sub.2 F.sub.2 to form a polythiazyl (SN).sub.x coating, which provides the resulting TiON anti-reflection film pattern with a sufficient etching resistance to act as an etching mask. This etching process emits no carbon to the etching system, thus improving selectivity for a SiO.sub.2 based material layer. The TiON anti-reflection film pattern can also be used as an etching mask for an aluminum metallization layer with a view to reducing after-corrosion.
    • 不使用有机抗蚀剂掩模的干蚀刻方法,而不涉及增加所需工艺或晶片表面步骤的数量。 通常,在栅电极或铝(Al)金属化层上形成作为薄的抗反射膜的氮基化合物膜。 这样形成的氮系化合物膜可以通过使用通过放电解离而能够在等离子体中形成硫(S)的蚀刻气体作为材料层的蚀刻掩模。 例如,可以通过S2F2 / H2混合气体蚀刻被图案化为规定形状的TiON抗反射膜掩蔽的W型多膜化膜。 在这种情况下,形成在TiON防反射膜表面上的氮(N)悬挂键与由S2F2供给的硫结合形成聚噻吩(SN)×涂层,其提供所得到的TiON抗反射膜图案, 足够的耐蚀刻性能用作蚀刻掩模。 该蚀刻工艺对蚀刻系统不产生碳,从而提高对SiO 2基材料层的选择性。 为了减少后腐蚀,TiON抗反射膜图案也可以用作铝金属化层的蚀刻掩模。
