Abstract

The etching of Si wafers in an RF discharge in CF4 has been studied using single-wavelength ellipsometry. The etch rate was measured as a function of surface temperature at two pressures. Only at high pressure (0,36 Torr) a small temperature effect was found. Furthermore, the existence of a modified top layer is suggested by the results of the measurements.
