Abstract
CF4 gas is one of the most common chemicals used for dry etching in semiconductor manufacturing processes. For application to the etching process and environmental control, the low-pressure inductively coupled plasma (LP-ICP) was employed to obtain the spectrum of CF4 gas. In terms of the analysis of the spectra, trace CF radical by A-X and B-X transitions was detected. The other CFx radicals, such as CF2 and CF3, were not seen in this experiment whereas strong C and C2 emissions, dissociation products of CF4 gas, were observed.
