  • Abstract
    Anisotropic, high rate etching of benzocyclobutene (BCB) with smooth surfaces and sidewalls has been achieved in a SF6/O 2/Ar electron cyclotron resonance (ECR)-generated plasma. BCB sidewall profiles, etch rates, and selectivity to photoresist are evaluated against SF6:O2 ratio, pressure, microwave power, and RF power
