Title:
DRY ETCHING METHOD OR DRY CLEANING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/181104
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method for selectively etching a film comprising Si, such as polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si), single-crystalline silicon (single-crystalline Si), or amorphous silicon (a-Si) as a principal component. Also provided is a cleaning method for removing a deposit or an attachment comprising Si as a major component that has become deposited or attached in a sample chamber of a device for performing film formation, such as a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) device, without damaging the inside of the device. A monofluoro interhalogen gas (XF, where X is one of Cl, Br, and I) and nitrogen monoxide (NO) are simultaneously introduced into a device for performing etching or film formation and excited by heat, whereby it becomes possible to reduce the etch rate for SiN or SiO2 and to selectively and rapidly etch a film comprising Si, such as poly-Si, single-crystalline Si, or a-Si, as a major component. It is also possible to perform cleaning by removing a deposit or an attachment comprising Si as a major component that has become deposited or attached in a device for performing film formation, such as a CVD device, without damaging the inside of the device.
