ABSTRACT:
A method of selectively etching a three-layer structure consisting of SiO2, In2O3, and titanium, includes etching the SiO2, stopping at the titanium layer, using C3F8in a range of between about 10 sccm to 30 sccm; argon in a range of between about 20 sccm to 40 sccm, using an RF source in a range of between about 1000 watts to 3000 watts and an RF bias in a range of between about 400 watts to 800 watts at a pressure in a range of between about 2 mtorr to 6 mtorr; and etching the titanium, stopping at the In2O3layer, using BCl in a range of between about 10 sccm to 50 sccm; chlorine in a range of between about 40 sccm to 80 sccm, a Tcpin a range of between about 200 watts to 500 watts at an RF bias in a range of between about 100 watts to 200 watts at a pressure in a range of between about 4 mtorr to 8 mtorr.
