Problems solved by technology

However, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-96256, there is a possibility that a material having a high relative permittivity also has a high dielectric loss tangent and tends to generate heat
Arrangements using materials with a high relative permittivity are problematic in actual practice because the heat generated by the discharge causes the dielectric components to fracture after a prolonged period of time
More specifically, since the relative permittivity is high, the value of tanδ is high, so the generation of heat causes the dielectric body to expand, etc., causing fracture
In addition, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-96256 has no specific disclosure about applying a substrate bias voltage

Abstract

The invention relates to a dry etching method and a dry etching apparatus. The dry etching method includes the steps of: supplying process gas to an interior of a vacuum vessel and supplying high-frequency power for plasma generation to an electrode of a plasma generation unit disposed in the vacuum vessel so as to generate plasma; and applying a high-frequency bias voltage to a substrate which is a member to be etched so as to carry out etching of the substrate, wherein the etching is carried out while applying the high-frequency bias voltage in which a self-bias voltage Vdc of a substrate bias voltage is not less than 0 Volts, by adopting a composition using a high-frequency power source for bias which is transformer-coupled to the substrate and a direct current power source for bias which is connected in series to a secondary side of a transformer so as to apply the substrate bias voltage in which a high-frequency voltage and a direct current voltage are superimposed, to the substrate from these power sources via the transformer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a dry etching method and dry etching equipment, more particularly to a dry etching technique suitable for processing anti-etching materials such as ferroelectric materials and noble metals. Background technique [0002] According to the conventional dry etching method, high-density plasma is generated, and etching is performed by applying a negative bias voltage to a substrate mainly using positive ions. Since etch-resistant materials such as ferroelectric materials are non-volatile and difficult to etch, etch rates are low and yields are low. In addition, there are cases where the treated cross section has a tapered shape, the product adheres to the treated side, and the like due to problems of adhesion of reaction products, reattachment of treated materials, and the like. [0003] Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to perform high-speed anisotropic etching while suppressing device damage due to charge accumul...
