Abstract

A number of different plasma chemistries were examined for dry etching of Ta2O5 under inductively coupled plasma (ICP) conditions. The maximum etch rates were achieved with SF6- or Cl2-based chemistries, while the rates with CH4/H2/Ar or N2/Ar were at least an order of magnitude lower. Under practical etching conditions, the etch rates for Si were always lower than those for Ta2O5.
