A study has been made on a monitoring technique using mass spectra in etching SiO2 films on Si substrates by reactive sputter etching. The 85SiF3+ mass peak proved to be a more effective indicator for the monitoring than the 16O+ mass peak. The end point determined by this monitoring technique was confirmed by XPS surface analysis. The signal decrement ratio at the SiO2-Si interface was denoted as a function of the etch rates of SiO2 and Si, and the sample area. This decrement ratio shows good agreement with the experimental results at various etching powers. This monitoring technique, using the 85SiF3+ mass peak, turns out to be more effective than emission spectrometry in the SiO2-Si system from the viewpoints of signal-to-noise ratio and signal stability.
