Gas Phase Etching of Silicon Dioxide Films

The gas phase etching of thermal silicon dioxide films was investigated with in situ Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and ex situ X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The initiation process, the bulk etching of the oxide, and the termination mechanism were characterized as a funct...
