Cl 2 -Based Dry Etching of Doped Manganate Perovskites: PrBaCaMnO 3 and LaSrMnO 3 .-Effective pattern transfer into the title compounds is achieved using Cl 2 /Ar discharges operated under inductively coupled plasma conditions. Etch rates of up to 900Å/min for LaSrMnO 3 and 300Å/min for PrBaMnO 3 are obtained. The etch rates of both materials are strong functions of the ion flux, ion energy, and plasma composition (i.e., ion-to-neutral ratio). -(LEE, K. P.; JUNG, K. B.; CHO, H.; KUMAR, D.; PIETAMBARAM, S.
