Abstract:
Provided herein are etching, cleaning and drying methods using a supercritical fluid, and a chamber system for conducting the same. The etching method includes etching the material layer using a supercritical carbon dioxide in which an etching chemical is dissolved, and removing an etching by-product created from a reaction between the material layer and the etching chemical using a supercritical carbon dioxide in which a cleaning chemical is dissolved. Methods of manufacturing a semiconductor device are also provided.

Abstract:
An aspect of the invention is to provide a method and apparatus for etching the silicon oxide layer of a semiconductor substrate, whereby the processing time for cleaning or rinsing, as well as any undesired aftereffects by residual hydrofluoric acid, may be reduced, in using the dry etching method involving the use of dense carbon dioxide that contains hydrofluoric acid, during the manufacturing process of a micro-electronic device.
