The silicon (Si) etching characteristics and the related efficiency of the etched Si to generate SiH 4 gas in narrow-gap high-pressure microwave H 2 plasma have been investigated. It was found that cooling of the Si sample is effective to obtain a high etching rate even under high pressure conditions, and the excess temperature increase of both the gas and Si sample can be suppressed even at an input power density of more than 250 W cm− 3, probably because of the narrow plasma gap. The local etching depth monotonically increased with increasing H 2 pressure and input plasma power, whereas the etching weight decreased with increasing H 2 pressure. By simultaneously increasing the H 2 pressure and input power, a maximum Si etching rate of 38 μm min− 1 was achieved. This is considered to be related to the high H density generated in the narrow-gap microwave plasma at relatively low temperatures. The energy efficiency of Si etching and the utilization efficiency of the etched Si and H 2 gas for SiH 4 formation are discussed. Lower input power is favorable for high energy efficiency of Si etching. The Si utilization efficiency, which is defined as the molar ratio of generated SiH 4 to etched Si, increases with decreasing average gas residence time in the plasma, whereas H 2 utilization efficiency is independent of the gas residence time.
