Reaction Mechanism For C2F6 Etching Si
(ftp://uigelz.ece.uiuc.edu/pub/presentations/dzhang_avs99.pdf)
A CxFy polymer layer is formed on the Si surface in coincidence with Si etching. The steady state passivation layer thickness is a balance of CFxdeposition, ion sputtering and F etching of the layer.
Si etching precursor (F) needs to diffuse through the passivation layer.

Effect of asymmetric pumping
(http://uigelz.ece.uiuc.edu/Projects/HPEM-ICP/)
Cl2 is injected through a symmetric array of nozzles from the top insulator. The gas is pumped either symmetrically through 3 evenly spaced pump ports or through a single pump port
Effect of asymmetric pumping
(http://uigelz.ece.uiuc.edu/Projects/HPEM-ICP/)
Electron impact dissociation of Cl2produces Cl atoms which is the primary etching species. The Cl atoms are consumed on the poly-Si wafer on the substrate. The top shows the Cl2 density at the top of the reactor (10 mTorr, 150 sccm). The bottom shows the Cl atom density just above the wafer. The Cl2density shows scalloping resulting from the injection nozzles. The Cl density at the wafer is essentially symmetric, though there is some small amount of biasing towards the pump ports.
The same values when using asymmetric pumping. The Cl reactant density clearly shows side-to-side dependencies. There is also some asymmetry in the Cl2 density at the top of the reactor. These asymmetries are functions of of gas pressure, reactive sticking coefficients and power deposition. .
