摘要
Plasma etching of lead-lanthanum-zirconium-titanate (PLZT) ferroelectric thin films using a dc hollow-cathode discharge in CF4 and dilute HCl has been investigated. The etch rate and film stoichiometry variations of sputter-deposited lead-lanthanum-titanate (PLT), and solution-deposited PLT, lead-zirconium-titanate (PZT), and PLZT have been measured over a wide range of etching conditions. Etching does not take place at room temperature, but requires substrate heating above 200-degrees-C. Etch rate and film stoichiometry varied strongly as a function of substrate temperature, gas mixture, and film preparation method. For sputter-deposited films, the fastest etch rates of 6500 angstrom/h were obtained using a mixture of CF4 and dilute HCl. Etch rates for solution-deposited films were higher than for sputter-deposited films, reaching 2000 angstrom/min in CF4.
