Embodiment 1

[0098] Next, use the figure 2 Wafer with the film structure shown, changing the COS gas and Cl 2 The flow rate of the gas was etched, and an experiment was performed to study the relationship between the flow rate ratio, CD, and taper angle. In the following experimental results, a wafer with mask 203 / organic film 202 / underlayer film 201 = 28 / 170 / 40 nm was used. In addition, there are the following three types of process conditions.

[0099] Supply gas: O 2 / He / Cl 2 / COS=50 / 160 / 20 / 8sccm···(1)

[0100] =50 / 160 / 13 / 6sccm...(2)

[0101] =50 / 160 / 16 / 8sccm...(3)

[0102] The preferred flow rate of each gas is: COS gas is 3-10 sccm, Cl 2 Gas 10-25sccm, He gas 100-200sccm, O 2 The gas is 45-100 sccm. Other steps and conditions are the same as those of the aforementioned organic film etching.

Abstract

The invention relates to a plasma etching method and plasma etching apparatus. A groove shape can be improved. A plasma etching method includes plasma-processing a photoresist film that is formed on a mask film and has a preset pattern; exposing an organic film formed under the mask film by etching the mask film with the pattern of the plasma-processed photoresist film; and etching the organic film by plasma of a mixture gas containing O 2 (oxygen), COS (carbonyl sulfate) and Cl 2 (chlorine).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a plasma etching method and a plasma etching device. Background technique [0002] It is known that when a groove is formed on a film to be processed in an etching process using plasma, the side wall of the groove is scraped off more than necessary, and the space in the middle of the groove bulges to form a bow. Due to progress in miniaturization, the problem of the bow becomes apparent, and it is difficult to control the width of the groove according to the design. As a countermeasure against this, Patent Document 1 below discloses a technique of adding COS (carbonyl sulfide) to an etching gas. [0003] prior art literature [0004] patent documents [0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-204668 Contents of the invention [0006] The problem to be solved by the invention [0007] However, in the case of forming a groove on the film to be processed in the etching process, if the side walls of the ...
