Abstract

A parametric study of high density plasma etching of Y-Ba-Cu-O films was carried out in a planar-type inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etcher. The etch rate was a strong function of ICP source power, radio frequency chuck power, and reactor pressure. Practical etch rates of 2500-3500 Å/min were obtained at moderate ICP conditions. The transition temperature (Tc) of the superconductor did not deteriorate during the ICP etch process, and was about 87 K. Etch results showed that ICP etching is a promising technique for patterning high Tc superconducting films into devices.
