摘要: In a dry etching equipment, variable gas mixture composition provides etch and ash simultaneously. For example, when SiO 2 /phospho silicate glass composite insulating layer with respective thickness of about 300 600 nm masked by patterned photoresist is to be etched, CHF 3 /O may used the following steps: 1. Dry in an RIE equipment plasma action containing fluorine compound oxidizer percentage 10-20% form tapered hole having desired slope top PSG layer; 2. 1-8% transfer from bottom layer, wherein during this step has been modified; then 3. said 80-100% adjust slope. Therefore method comprised reduced number operations. addition, because process only based on different flow ratios, no pumping necessary, therefore results higher throughputs. The resulting via-hole 55-65 deg. range.
