Abstract

The kinetics of reactive ion etching of silicon in radiofrequency CHF3 plasma has been studied. It has been shown that with an increase in both power input into the discharge and bias power on the substrate holder, the etching process proceeds in the kinetic regime. It is assumed that the sources of atomic fluorine are CF3 radicals and a fluorocarbon film and the dominant ion is \({\text{CF}}_{3}^{ + }.\)
