  • Patent number: 6060400
    Abstract: A dry etch process is described for removing silicon nitride masks from silicon dioxide or silicon for use in a semiconductor fabrication process. A remote plasma oxygen/nitrogen discharge is employed with small additions of a fluorine source. The gas mixture is controlled so that atomic fluorine within the reaction chamber is maintained at very low flows compared with the oxygen and nitrogen reactants. Parameters are controlled so that an oxidized reactive layer is formed above any exposed silicon within a matter of seconds from initiating etching of the silicon nitride. Etch rates of silicon nitride to silicon of greater than 30:1 are described, as well as etch rates of silicon nitride to silicon dioxide of greater than 70:1.
