Abstract

In this study, the deformation and etch characteristics of ArF and EUV photoresists were compared in a dual frequency superimposed capacitively coupled plasma (DFS-CCP) etcher systems using $CF_{4}/O_{2}/Ar$ and $CF_{4}/CHF_{3}/O_{2}/Ar$ mixture gas chemistry which are typically used for BARC open and $Si_{3}N_{4}$ teching chemistry, respectively. Etch rate of the resists tend to increase with low-frequency source power ($P_{LF}$) and high-frequency source ($f_{HF}$). The etch rate of ArF resist was hgither than that of EUV resist.
