Abstract
An etch rate equation for the dry etching of silicon in the absence of ion bombardment is derived from a model in which transport of atomic fluorine is rate determining. This equation indicates that the etch rate follows the Arrhenius rule and is proportional to the fluorine-atom concentration in the gas phase. The theoretical etch rate is shown to be in good agreement with experimental data.
