Abstract

A method for forming a trench includes providing a substrate, and forming the trench in the substrate using a gas containing chlorine (Cl2) gas as a main etch gas and SiFX gas as an additive gas, wherein a sidewall of the trench has a substantially vertical profile by virtue of reaction of the Cl2 gas and the SiFX gas.
