Abstract

See full text

A plasma etch process to anisotropically etch a sandwich structure of silicon dioxide, polycrystalline silicon, and silicon dioxide 'in situ', that is, in a single etch chamber. The silicon dioxide is etched using a SF.sub.6 /CHF.sub.3 /He chemistry. The polycrystalline silicon is etched using a HBr/He chemistry. A non-erodible cathode is used. Tungsten silicide may replace the polycrystalline silicon. Silicon nitride may replace the silicon dioxide.
