(Prior Art) As the density of integration in semiconductor devices progresses, patterns become finer and the depth of diffusion layers also decreases. Therefore, in the dry etching process of the oxide film, there is a need for a processing method that can provide an even higher selectivity of the oxide film to silicon and polysilicon (etch rate of oxide film/etch rate of silicon or polysilicon).

In other words, in conventional gas systems using CF 4 or a mixed gas of CHF 3 and O 2 , the number of free and excited fluorine atoms in the plasma is large, and these free fluorine atoms can etch silicon or polysilicon. Therefore, there is a problem that the selectivity of the oxide film to silicon or polysilicon is low.

That is, in a dry etching method in which gas is introduced into a reaction chamber, plasma is generated by high frequency, and the oxide film is etched by reacting with excited fluorine atoms in the plasma, CHF 3 and CH 2 are used as etching gases. It is characterized by using a mixed gas of CHF 3 , CH 2 F 2 and O 2 so that the ratio with F 2 is 1:1.

In the present invention, as described above, a mixed gas system of CHF 3 , CH 2 F 2 , and O 2 is used, and the amounts of CHF 3 and CE 2 F 2 are approximately the same. As a result, compared to a mixed gas system of CHF 3 and O 2 , assuming the same amount of gas, the number of hydrogen atoms increases from 2 to 3 (1.5 times), and the number of fluorine atoms increases from 6 to 5 (83%). Decrease. As a result, the increased amount of hydrogen atoms is easily liberated in the plasma, thereby promoting [ -CF2- ] o polymer formation. Furthermore, since the fluorine atoms themselves are reduced as described above, the number of excited fluorine atoms is reduced as a whole, and the attack on silicon or polysilicon is reduced. This provides a high selectivity of the oxide film to silicon or polysilicon. In this case, the etch rate of the oxide film does not decrease much compared to the conventional method, and there is no problem in productivity.

The smaller the amount of oxygen, the higher the selectivity of the oxide film to silicon or polysilicon tends to be. For example, the flow rate ratio of CHF 3 :CH 2 F 2 :O 2 is 25
(SCCM): 25 (SCCM): 12 (SCCM) gives a high selectivity of about 26;

Although the etching apparatus used in the method of the present invention is not particularly limited, it is preferable to use an apparatus in which the anode to cathode area ratio is as high as about 2 and the distance between the anode and cathode electrodes is set to be sufficiently large. By setting the distance between the anode and the cathode to be large in this manner, changes in the distance between the electrodes due to polymers such as free carbon adhering to the electrodes can be ignored, and etching with good reproducibility can be realized. Furthermore, by using a device that can vertically support the wafer, physical adhesion of particles can be reduced, and low particle size can be achieved.
