Abstract
The role of CF and CF2 radicals in etching and polymerization processes in capacitively-coupled radio-frequency plasmas in fluorocarbon gases used for the selective etching of SiO2 layers is examined. Laser-induced fluorescence was used to determine the time-resolved axial concentration profiles of the species in continuous and pulse-modulated CF4 and C2F6 plasmas. The mass distribution of the ions arriving at the reactor walls was determined using a quadrupole mass spectrometer.
