| Description | Journal: Japanese Journal of Applied Physics ZnO and Al-doped ZnO (AZO) were etched in $Cl_{2}/CH_{4}/H_{2}$/Ar $(Cl_{2}$-based) and $BCl_{3}/CH_{4}/H_{2}$/Ar $(BCl_{3}$-based), inductively coupled plasmas (ICPs) and their etching characteristics were compared by varying the $Cl_{2}/(Cl_{2}+CH_{4}$) and $BCl_{3}/(BCl_{3}+CH_{4}$) flow ratios, top electrode power and dc self-bias voltage $(V_{dc}$). The etch rates of both ZnO and AZO layers were higher in the $Cl_{2}$-based chemistry than in the $BCl_{3}$-based chemistry. The AZO and ZnO etch rates were increased and decreased, respectively, with increasing $Cl_{2}$ or $BCl_{3}$ flow ratio. Optical emission measurements of the radical species in the plasma and surface binding states by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively, indicated that, with increasing $Cl_{2}$ or $BCl_{3}$ flow ratio; the effective removal of Al in the AZO enhanced the AZO etch rate, whereas the reduced removal of Zn by the $Zn(CH_{x})_{y}$ products reduced the ZnO etch rate. |
