[21a-C206-3] Effect of ion diffusion and hydration on wet etching phenomena in nanoscale region
Keywords:semiconductor, Etching, FUV
In the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices, etching rate (ER) reduction during etching removal of several nm wide material in the three-dimensional structure of the device has become an issue. In this study, porous glass with pores of a few nm in width was used as a model structure, and the hydration state and ion diffusion in the pores were analyzed spectroscopically by adding various additives. The correlation between these results and the ER of SiO2 films with a few nm width in aqueous HF solutions with various additives was investigated.
