Research Abstract |
We performed mass spectroscopic study of vaporized species during ultraviolet (UV) and vacuum UV (VUV) light irradiation to polymer resists including poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), and found a remarkable difference between the spectra obtained during UV and VUV irradiation. In the case of VUV irradiation, the intense mass peaks which are the result of direct main chain scission were obviously observed. Further, the effective unzipping reaction to produce monomer was found for the etching in vacuum at a temperature below the ceiling temperature. On the other hand, the possibility of directional photoetching of silicon (100) and PMMA was studied using VUV light under the existence of reactive species pruduced by 2.4k GHz discharge of CF_4/0_2 gas. For both materials, the chemical dry etching by the reactive species was clearly enhanced by VUV irradiation to the surface of the materials. The results indicate that the VUV induced etching is the result of a surface photochemical reaction which is useful in producing anisotropic photoetching.
