Si / SiO2Etching • Etching of SiO2 and Si in a CF4 plasma • Adding an oxidizing agent such as O2 • to a CF4 glow discharge increases • the amount of free F. • At higher oxygen concentrations, the etch • rate drops again. This can be ascribed in part • to a lowering in free F because of gas-phase • recombination.
AlEtching • Aluminum is quite stable under normal atmospheric conditions, • resulting from the immediate formation of a very inert native oxide • when it is exposed to air or water. • Aluminum hexachloride is formed readily on exposure of aluminum • with molecular chlorine. • This reaction will only start after the native oxide has been removed. • To remove the native oxide, the Lewis acid BCl3 is added to Cl2.
Temperature Effects • Arrhenius expression • where A is a pre-exponential which is weakly dependent on temperature • and EA is the activation energy.

Wet Etching Mechanism 2 • Wet chemical etching usually proceeds by oxidation, followed by the • dissolution of the oxide by a chemical reaction. • Si etchant : HNO3 + HF + H2O or CH3COOH • The overall reaction is • where H2SiF6 is soluble in water. (Oxidation) (Dissociation of the oxide)
Orientation-dependent etching • Some etchants dissolve a given crystal plane of a semiconductor much • faster than other planes; this results in orientation-dependent etching. • A commonly used orientation-dependent etch for silicon consists of a • mixture of KOH in water and isopropyl alcohol. • The ratio of the etch rates for the (100)-, (110)-, and (111)-planes is • 100: 16:1.

Wet Etching in TFT Fabrication 2 • Al etching시 일반적으로 Heated etchant (35 ~ 45℃)를 사용. • Etching이 진행되는 동안 수소기체가 발생되어 Al 표면에서 Etching를 • 방해하여 Snow ball이라는 Residue 발생하므로 기포 제거에 주의가 필요.
