2 Coping with spatial variation in DRIE Why non-uniformity is a problem Controlling uniformity with the mask design Characterizing tools performance Wafer-to-wafer effects Improving the mask design process 2
3 Non-uniformity problems in MEMS Aim: remove imbalance in MIT Microengine rotor ~10 mm SEM picture of turbine blades Mask layout e.g.: A.H. Epstein et al., Proc. Transducers 97 3
4 Non-uniformity problems in MEMS also: embossing stamp fabrication for microfluidics manufacture Si stamp Thermoplastic polymer Cover perhaps too: avoiding footing during SOI etch-through 4
5 Inductively-coupled plasma in DRIE chamber cross-section vacuum chamber ~ mtorr gas inlet wafer plasma X ~ r.f. supply to excite plasma to wafer load lock chuck exhaust ~ independent control of ions acceleration towards wafer 5
6 Time-multiplexed Bosch processing C 4 F 8 passivation SF 6 etch mask: e.g. SiO 2, photoresist X C 4 F 8 ~ every ~10 s S a F b+, F SF 6 ~ X ~ ~ Journal of The Electrochemical Society, 146 (1) (1999); Robert Bosch GmbH, Pat. 4,855,017 and 4,784,720 (USA) and C1 (Germany) (1994) 6
7 Non-uniformity at three length scales device/ die spatial variation wafer in cross-section feature-scale inter- and intradevice wafer/chamber-scale aspect ratiodependent etching (ARDE) competition for reactants; diffusion ion and radical flux distribution waferlevel loading F 7
8 Strategies for improving uniformity Force etching to be reaction-limited Lower chamber pressure Wafer cooling Conservative mask design Improved tool design Relate mask design directly to non-uniformity Design mask according to desired uniformity Perturb etch rates constructively 8

16 Time-multiplexed Bosch processing C 4 F 8 passivation SF 6 etch mask: e.g. SiO 2, photoresist X C 4 F 8 ~ every ~10 s S a F b+, F SF 6 ~ X ~ ~ Journal of The Electrochemical Society, 146 (1) (1999); Robert Bosch GmbH, Pat. 4,855,017 and 4,784,720 (USA) and C1 (Germany) (1994) 16
17 Accounting for spontaneity in Si etching 5 SF 6 etch with no passivation steps usual condition for recipe used SF 6 ~ x S a F b+, F platen power ~ Etch rate cut by ~15% when ion flux minimized But spontaneous etching is readily incorporated into map A: R R ( ke J c) i i + ( ) 0 Θ J n = Θ = vs 1 17
18 Accounting for time-multiplexing T tot flow rate T etch SF 6 T pass T Si-etch C 4 F 8 time Non-uniformity of CF x flux may matter Ion flux definitely important (T strip ) Ion flux important to an extent (T Si-etch ) 18
19 tot Time-multiplexing model R Si is the etch rate our previous model would have predicted. Overall, modified rate prediction: Tpassk passj CF R x ( ) Si Tetch T R J Si etchrsi Si Tetch T strip ik strip R' = = = T T T tot If we define a = T etch /T tot, p = J i k strip, q = k pass J CFx, we have: tot R' = [ a( p + q) q] p R Si R = ma + c with m = (p + q)r Si /p and c = qr Si /p. 19
20 Rate of passivation removal (R ) Here, etch step only just removes passivation ρ = 1% ρ = 40% ρ = 95% ρ = 5% qr Si /p (p + q)r Si /p Basic recipe (a) 20
