Abstract: SA9 80 049 ETCHING PROCESS WITH VIBRATIONALLY EXCITED SF6 of the Invention A substrate which forms a volatile fluoride is etched and directionality is achieved using vibrationally excited SF6 which has been exposed to laser irradiation. The substrate is etched through a mask having openings smaller than the diffraction limit of the laser light.
