Abstract
Plasma etching is crucial in microfabrication for precise pattern transfer, but the presence of by-products can significantly impact feature quality. This study investigates the factors behind by-product formation and behavior, emphasizing the importance of modeling and simulation to analyze their impact on feature profiles. By accurately predicting by-product behavior, process engineers can optimize etch conditions, resulting in improved yield and device performance.
