Abstract :
This study characterizes the SiO2 etching by two gases C2F6 and CF4, in an experimental high-density reactor. The effect of some experimental parameter variations on the etching rate and F and CF2 radical concentration, has been studied and correlated to the self-induced voltage and the substrate temperature.
