When the regulation etch processes finishes, stop supply high frequency electric power and etching gas, in chamber 2, shift out semiconductor wafer W according to the order opposite with said sequence.
Then, with reference to Fig. 1, the plasma-etching method of present embodiment is described.
Shown in Fig. 1 (a), on semiconductor wafer W surface, be formed with SiOC layer 101 as object being treated.Downside at SiOC layer 101 forms SiC layer 102, at the downside formation Cu of SiC layer 102 wiring layer 103.
In addition, on SiOC layer 101, left and right directions in the figure makes SiOC layer 101 form the groove 110 of wire depression.In the bottom of this groove 110, form the peristome 111 that forms path.This opening portion 111, for example, with diaphragm (resist) as mask, with CF class gas and Ar gas and O 2The gaseous mixtures of gas etc. utilize plasma etching to form as etching gas, subsequently, utilize and use O 2The ashing treatment of gas (ashing) is removed diaphragm, forms the state shown in Fig. 1 (a).
By the state shown in Fig. 1 (a), shown in Fig. 1 (b), with SiOC layer 101 as mask, with NF 3The mist of/He/Ar carries out plasma etching as etching gas to SiC layer 102, forms the peristome 112 that is connected with peristome 111, and forms the path 113 that reaches Cu wiring layer 103.
At this moment, as etching gas, contain NF at least by using 3, He and Ar gas, can improve SiC layer 102 etched selectivity with respect to SiOC layer 101.
As embodiment 1, according to following etching condition, that is, and NF 3/ He/Ar=4/240/200sccm, pressure 6Pa (45mTorr), electric power (upper/lower)=400/150W, temperature (top/side wall portion/bottom)=80/60/0 ℃, cooling are carried out plasma etching with helium pressure (central portion/periphery)=1330/1330Pa (10/10Torr), interelectrode distance=170mm.Its result, the etch-rate of SiC is 148nm/min, the etch-rate of SiOC is 9.0nm/min, selects than being 16.4.
Then, except above-mentioned etching condition, the etching condition investigation result that explanation may be used is in above-mentioned etching condition, because pressure is 6Pa (45mTorr), etching gas total flow is that the volume of 444sccm, chamber 2 is 901, so the residence time is 0.72 millisecond.
When the total flow of etching gas is taken as half (222sccm), that is, and NF 3During/He/Ar=2/120/100sccm, the residence time is 1.44 milliseconds.With the etching gas of this flow, other etching conditions are identical with embodiment 1, and when carrying out etching, the etch-rate of SiC is 108nm/min, and the etch-rate of SiOC is 8.9nm/min, select than being 12.1.
In addition, when the total flow of etching gas is doubled (888sccm), that is, and NF 3During/He/Ar=8/480/400sccm, the residence time is 0.36 millisecond, and this moment, the etch-rate of SiC was 132nm/min, and the etch-rate of SiOC is 30.0nm/min.Select than being 4.40.
As mentioned above, increase total flow, when reducing the residence time, the etch-rate that can be observed SiOC rises, and selects than the tendency that reduces.In addition, reduce total flow, when increasing the residence time, the etch-rate of observing SiC is tending towards reducing, for this reason, the residence time, be preferably about 0.72 millisecond~1.44 milliseconds, be preferably 0.36 millisecond~1.44 milliseconds at least.
Below about the flow-rate ratio of etching gas, according to the condition of embodiment 1, reduce the flow of Ar, be taken as NF 3During/He/Ar=4/240/50sccm, further increase the flow of He thus, be taken as NF 3During/He/Ar=4/480/50sccm, can obtain the selection ratio much the same with the situation of the foregoing description 1, therefore, the scope of this flow-rate ratio is spendable scope.
On the other hand, the flow of Ar is taken as 0, is taken as NF 3During/He/Ar=6/120/0sccm, the etch-rate of SiC is 82nm/min, and the etch-rate of SiOC is 62nm/min, selects than being 1.32.Therefore in order to ensure selecting ratio, it is indispensable adding Ar.
About pressure,, can obtain the selection ratio much the same with embodiment 1 situation even when being taken as 2Pa (15mTorr).Therefore, spendable pressure is at least the scope of 2~6Pa.
About the electric power that applies to upper electrode 21, when being taken as 50W, when being taken as 500W, can both obtain the selection ratio roughly the same with embodiment 1 situation (situation of 400W).Therefore, to the electric power that upper electrode 21 applies, can use the scope of 50W~500W at least.At this moment, because the diameter of semiconductor wafer W is 300mm,, be 0.07W/cm if represent with power density 2~0.7W/cm 2Scope.
On the other hand, the electric power to lower electrode (pedestal 5) applies when being taken as 50W, when being taken as 100W, all can obtain and implement the much the same selection ratio of 1 situation (situation of 150W).Therefore, the electric power to lower electrode (pedestal 5) applies can use 50W~150W at least.In this case, the diameter of semiconductor wafer W is 300mm, when representing with power density, is 0.07W/cm 2~0.21W/cm 2Scope.
Below the influence to etching state describes to temperature of lower (temperature of pedestal 5), temperature of lower (temperature of pedestal) when being taken as 70 ℃ and 30 ℃ the time, can be obtained and the much the same selection ratio of 0 ℃ of situation of embodiment 1.But, in the time of 70 ℃, as shown in Figure 3, the shape of the side wall portion 112a of SiC layer 102 upper shed portion 112 is not to form straight line, but forms crooked laterally shape, like this, the shape of the inner wall part of path 113 forms crooked laterally shape, when imbedding conductor such as copper subsequently, can produce problems such as hole.
The shape of above-mentioned side wall portion 112a.Degree of crook in the time of 30 ℃ during than 70 ℃ reduces, and the degree of crook in the time of 0 ℃ during than 30 ℃ reduces again.Thus, when temperature of lower (temperature of pedestal 5) is very high, it is crooked that the sidewall 112a shape of opening portion 112 is tending towards, by reducing temperature, can reduce this trend, therefore, for the inner wall part shape that makes path 113 shape that is in line, temperature of lower (temperature of pedestal 5) is preferably below 30 ℃, more preferably below 0 ℃.
For the inner wall section shape with above-mentioned path 113 forms straight line, in above-mentioned etching gas, preferably add CHF class gas or CF class gas.For example, CH 2F 2Deng.In fact, etching gas is taken as NF 3/ He/Ar/CH 2F 2=4/240/200/2sccm, other etching conditions are identical with embodiment 1, when carrying out etching, can obtain the path 113 that side wall portion 112a is shaped as linearity.But in this case, the etching speed of SiC is 124nm/min, and the etch-rate of SiOC is 54.9nm/min, selects than being 2.26.
As above-mentioned, in etching gas, add CH 2F 2Deng the time, though can form the side wall portion 112a of rectilinear form,, improved the etch-rate of SiOC, reduced and selected ratio.For example, above-mentioned CH 2F 2Addition be increased to 4sccm from 2sccm, when and NF 3Flow be during with flow, select than being lower than 2, be 1.90.Thus, the gas of CHF class gas or CF class, its flow preferably is lower than 1/2 NF 3Flow.
