Abstract

The main results of theoretical and experimental studies of Ar/Cl2 and Ar/Cl2/O2 plasma parameters in an atomic layer etching reactor, studies of etching of Mo, W, Ru films in chlorine-containing plasma with in-situ control of the continuous etching process and cyclic atomic layer etching of the W film in fluorinated plasma are presented. The results of the ion concentration calculation obtained using the developed two-dimensional hydrodynamic plasma model of chlorine-containing plasma in the Ar discharge are in good agreement with experimental data. A strong increase in the etching rate of Mo, W in chlorine-containing plasma with an increase in ion energy was found. It is shown that the use of an in-situ reflectometric method for determining the etching rate makes it possible to control the etching process at individual stages of cyclic atomic layer etching of metals. This contributes to its faster development. The mechanism of etching of metals in chlorine-containing plasma is briefly discussed.
