This course discusses the fundamentals of plasma assisted phenomena and reactive ion etching (RIE) processes. The emphasis is on the physical and chemical processes that determine the consequences of a reactive gas plasma/surface interaction. The role of energetic ions as encountered in RIE systems is discussed in detail and the factors which influence anisotropy of etching are highlighted. Plasma-assisted etching equipment is described including capacitively coupled, inductively coupled and wave-generated plasmas sources.
