ABSTRACT:
In order to cyclically implement isotropical and anisotropical etching of an interlayer insulator provided in a semiconductor wafer, two variable capacitors are provided for applying RF bias (power) to a triode type dry etching apparatus. The two variable capacitors are controlled such that cyclically, as one of the two capacitors exhibits maximum capacitance thereof, the other capacitor exhibits minimum capacitance thereof. As an alternative to the above, a wafer supporting table provided in a reactive chamber of an electron cyclotron resonance type apparatus, is cyclically supplied with a radio frequency (RF) bias and the ground potential. This cyclic application of the RF bias and the ground potential is controlled by a combination of a pulse generator and an amplitude modulation circuit both coupled to an RF signal generator. The via hole is effectively formed using the cyclic operations of the isotropic and anisotropic etching.
