Abstract
Reactive ion etching (RIE) of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin film was investigated using an Ar(20)/Cl2/BCl3 gas mixture in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The PZT etch rate of 2450 angstroms/min was obtained at an inductive power of 500 W, dc-bias voltage of -300 V, total pressure of 20 mTorr, and substrate temperature of 80 °C. X ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis for film composition was utilized. Results showed that PbO in PZT film was readily broken and transformed to Pb relative to ZrO2 and TiO2.
