摘要
Inductively coupled plasmas etching of Al1.3Sb3Te (AST) films were studied using Cl-2/BCl3 gas mixture. The effects of gas-mixing ratio, bias power, gas pressure, applying ICP power on the variations of etch rate, etch profiles, and surface roughness were investigated, respectively. In addition, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy compositional depth profiling of the blank etched AST shows accumulation of low volatile SbClx, on the etched surface. Al shows the lowest halogenide during the etching process as the volatile chlorides compounds can easily be removed from the surface during the etching process. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
