MODIFICATION OF METAL-CONTAINING SURFACES IN HIGH ASPECT RATIO PLASMA ETCHING
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18705932 titled 'MODIFICATION OF METAL-CONTAINING SURFACES IN HIGH ASPECT RATIO PLASMA ETCHING
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatus for etching high aspect ratio features in substrates having mixed material stacks are provided herein. Methods involve using low plasma power, high chamber pressure, and/or low temperature while exposing the substrate to a metal-containing additive gas during etching using a fluorocarbon gas.
