ABSTRACT

In this study, the plasma resistance of LaF₃ films deposited on glass was evaluated using the Radio Frequency –Ion Beam Assisted Deposition (RF-IBAD) method. Based on the CF₄ + Ar plasma etching rate, the LaF₃ film showedexcellent plasma resistance, which was about 10 times lower than that of quartz glass and about 2 times lower than that of alumina. This is interpreted as being due to the fact that the LaF₃ film effectively suppresses the reaction with the CF₄ plasma and has low volatility due to its high melting point (2,327ºC). Therefore, the LaF₃ film has better plasma resistance than conventional quartz glass and ceramics, and is likely to be used as an etching protection material for semiconductor process components.
