Abstract

See full text

Techniques for etching through a low capacitance dielectric layer in a plasma processing chamber are disclosed. The techniques uses an etch chemistry that includes N.sub.2, O.sub.2, and a hydrocarbon. By etching the low capacitance dielectric layer with a plasma created out of the etch chemistry, fast etch rates can be obtained while also maintaining profile control and preserving critical dimension of the resultant opening (e.g., via/trench) being etched in the low capacitance layer.
