The etch rates of SiO2, photoresist, Si, and SiN in a 27 MHz reactive ion etching system at constant ion flux of 6×1016 cm−2 s−1 and ion energy of 1450 V were studied. Typical incident flux densities of CF2 and CF+ were on the order of 1017 and 1016 cm−2 s−1, respectively. The SiO2 etch rate was determined by the balance of the energy supplied by the total ion flux and the amount of the C–F reactive species supplied by radicals and ions. When we roughly assumed the surface reaction probabilities of F, CF, CF2 and CF3 to be 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, and 0.5, the SiO2 etch rate could be expressed well as a function of the total number of F in the net radical fluxes. To clarify the dominant flux including radicals and ions, however, further research on surface reaction probabilities on the actual etched surface must be conducted because the incident fluxes strongly depend on these constants of the surface reaction probability. Lowering the total ion flux or ion energy decreased the etch rate of SiO2. A higher ion flux ...
