Etching of polyphenylene oxide in a downstream microwave plasma using NF₃, SF₆, O₂ and Ar gas mixtures

Creator:

Venkataraman, Arjun

Abstract:

Plasma etching of polymers is an important process in the fabrication of integrated circuits, printed circuit boards and other emerging technologies. High rates can be obtained using oxygen diluted with a fluorine-containing gas, most commonly CF₄. In this thesis, two less studied fluorinated gases, NF₃ and SF₆ are investigated. Polyphenylene...
