ZnO 박막의 fluorine-계 유도결합 플라즈마 식각 = Fluorine-based inductively coupled plasma etching of ZnO film

국문 초록 (Abstract)

$CF_4$ Ar 및 $SF_6$/Ar 유도결합 플라즈마을 이용하여 ZnO 박막의 고이온밀도 플라즈마 식각을 수행하였다. $10CF_4$/5Ar, $10SF_6$/5Ar 유도결합 플라즈마에서 최고 ~1950 ${\AA}$/min과 ~1400 ${\AA}$/min의 식각 속도를 확보하였다. 대부분의 조건 하에서 식각된 ZnO 표면은 식각 전보다 더 낮은 표면조도 값들을 나타내었다. $10CF_4$/5Ar 유도결합 플라즈마에서 Ni mask는 ZnO에 대해 최고 11의 높은 식각 선택도를 나타낸 반면에 Al은 이보다 낮은 1.6~4.7 범위의 식각선택도를 나타내었다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

High density plasma etching of ZnO film was performed in $CF_4$/Ar and $SF_6$/Ar inductively coupled plasmas. Maximum etch rates of ~1950 ${\AA}$/min and ~1400 ${\AA}$/min were obtained for $10CF_4$/5Ar and $10SF_6$/5Ar ICP discharges, respectively. The etched ZnO surfaces showed better RMS roughness values than the unetched control sample under most of the conditions examined. In the $10CF_4$/5Ar ICP discharges, very high etch selectivities were obtained for ZnO over Ni (max. 11) while Al showed etch selectivities in the range of 1.6~4.7 to ZnO.
