Abstract

See full text

Refractory metals, refractory metal silicide, and polysilicon/refractory metal silicide sandwich structures integrated circuits are etched using carbonyl chemistry. That is, the deposited material is plasma etched using an etchant gas mixture which contains a gas, such as CO2, which can dissociate to provide carbonyl groups (CO) or, in combination with halogen sources, carbonyl halide radicals.
