Abstract

The impact of substrate temperature and etch chamber pressure on the oxygen atom induced etching of parylene-N was analyzed using a remote microwave oxygen plasma. The reactions leading to the formation of the etch products in this process were also discussed. The X-ray photoelectron spectra analyses of etch and unetched films were presented. It was observed that the increase in substrate temperature increases etch rate.
