Abstract

See full text

A high-throughput apparatus for sputter etching or reactive sputter etching of wafers comprises a large-area electrode centrally disposed within a relatively small-area cylindrical electrode. Wafers to be etched are mounted on the inside surface of the cylindrical electrode. A source of a-c power is capacitively coupled to the cylindrical electrode and the center electrode is grounded. By establishing a suitable plasma within the apparatus, simultaneous anisotropic etching of multiple wafers can be achieved.
