Greetings -
I am looking for a technique/recipe for forming sloped (roughly 45
degrees) edge profiles in etched polysilicon. The polysilicon is 2
microns thick, deposited by LPCVD over thermal oxide.
My goal is to have a sputtered moly wiring layer cross the edge
continuously. I have tried various SF6/O2 ratios in a reactive ion
etch system and CF4/O2 in a plasma etcher, but even the best edge
profiles have a very steep bit at the top of the slope.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have,
Jim
