A Mathematical Model for Etching of Silicon Using  CF 4 in a Radial Flow Plasma Reactor

Abstract: A mathematical model for plasma etching of silicon using tetrafluoromethane in a radial flow reactor was developed. Finite element methods were employed to calculate the two-dimensional flow, temperature, and species concentration fields. Etching rate and uniformity were studied as a function of reactor operating conditions, including the effect of flow direction. For the parameter values examined, the etching rate increased monotonically with flow rate. For low substrate temperature (298 K), inward flow resul… Show more

“…As discussed in that work, models for the plasma chemistry of SF 6 /O 2 and CF 4 /O 2 mixtures have been extensively investigated by different research groups [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] . These processes are extremely complex to be modelled and solved, considering all the homogeneous processes in the gas phase and the heterogeneous processes occurring at the gas-solid interface 20 .…”

“…Alguns autores têm concentrado os seus esforços na descrição dos processos físi-cos no reator, tais como a distribuição de energia das partícu-las que interagem com a superfície do substrato e a evolução temporal e espacial da velocidade de corrosão 3,4 . Outros autores têm dado ênfase aos processos químicos, em particular na fase gasosa.…”

“…Tanto na superfície como na fase gasosa, acontecem recombinações formando gases estáveis. Como mostrado na Referência 2, o silício é rapidamente corroído por plasmas de CF 4 e CF 4 /O 2 , com a produção de tetrafluoreto de silício. Outros agentes de corrosão utilizados são o NF 3 , SF 6 e substâncias cloradas e bromadas.…”
