  • Etch rates of ∌3,500 Ã…/min for 6H-SiC and ∌7,500 Ã…/min for SiC0.5N0.5 were obtained in inductively coupled plasmas with NF3-based chemistries. Similar etch rate trends were achieved with both NF3/O2 and NF3/Ar mixtures. The rates were strong functions of plasma composition, ion energy and ion fluxes, and were independent of conductivity type for SiC. Surface root-mean-square (RMS) roughness were 1-2 nm for etched SiC over a wide range of conditions indicating equi-rate removal of the SiFx and CFx etch products, but SiCN surfaces became extremely rough (RMS roughness > 20 nm) for F2-rich plasma conditions. The etched surfaces of SiC were chemically clean and stoichiometric, with small (<0.2 at%) quantities of N2- or F2- containing residues detected. © 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
