Abstract

A method for etching on a semiconductors at the back end of line using reactive ion etching. The method comprises reduced pressure atmosphere and a mixture of gases at a specific flow rate ratio during plasma generation and etching. Plasma generation is induced by a source radio frequency and anisotropic etch performance is induced by a second bias radio frequency.
