Silicon Nitride Etch via Oxidation Reaction in Fluorocarbon/Oxygen Plasma: A First-Principle Study

Conducting all-in-one etch process for 3D-NAND fabrication requires close etch rate (E/R) for SiO2 and Si3N4; however, to attain comparable and high etch rate for both materials is challenging. In this work, we performed first-principle studies on the etching mechanism of Si3N4 in fluorocarbon/oxyge...
