Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9815504A1] The invention relates to a method for etching of silica-based layers/substrates by reactive ion etching system (10) using an etching gas mixture of CHF3/AR through a photoresist mask. Reactive ion etching is carried out under conditions of simultaneous isotropic deposition of a carbon-based polymer where the polymer deposition rate is controlled by adjusting process control parameters of RF power, sample temperature, O2 and CF4 additions.
