Observations of CmFn Radicals in Reactive Ion Beam Etching

Abstract
CmFn radicals produced in an electron-cyclotron-resonance ion source for reactive ion beam etching of SiO2 were observed with photoionization mass spectrometry. Pressure dependence of the densities of radicals shows an apparent contribution of the radicals to the etching rate in a pressure region higher than about 2×10-2 Pa.
