Abstract

See full text

A tungsten silicide etch process allows for a high etch rate and about 90.degree. sidewall profiles of etched features. According to an example embodiment, a substrate is placed into an etch zone and a process gas comprising SF.sub.6, He, HBr, and a chlorine-containing gas is introduced in the etch zone. A plasma is generated in the etch zone to form an etch gas from the process gas that anisotropically etches the tungsten silicide layer.
