- Abstract
- In this study, we carried out an investigation of the etch characteristics of TiO2 thin films and the selectivity of TiO2 to SiO2 in adaptive coupled C1(2)/Ar plasma. The maximum etch rate of the TiO2 thin film was 136 +/- 5 nm/min at a gas mixing ratio of C1(2)/Ar (75%: 25%). The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed the efficient destruction of oxide bonds by the ion bombardment as well as the accumulation of low volatile reaction products on the etched surface.
