Abstract

The formation of small-sized contact windows by plasma-chemical etching and the main factors of polymer residue formation after etching are considered. The composition of polymer residues and the mechanism of their removal by chemical methods using PRX solutions have been studied. An indirect evaluation (based on the variation in silicon dioxide thickness) of the thermal method of polymer residue removal, implemented during the “contact reflow” operation, has been carried out.
