Abstract;We have developed an electron beam recorder (EBR) and studied a process technology for high-density optical disc mastering. In this study, we aimed at controlling a nano-pattern profile by adopting inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) under simple conditions for good productivity. To control the pattern inclination angle, we introduced an etching power ratio of antenna power to bias power and investigated the relationship. From the results of our investigation, it was confirmed that inclination angle depended on etching power ratio linearly. Furthermore, in the case of a 100GB read-only memory (ROM) equivalent pattern, we formed two kinds of inclined pattern by adopting ICP-RIE. We evaluated line edge roughness (LER) to determine the difference in pit profile accurately. As a result, it was confirmed that LER was improved at a steep inclination angle. In addition, we applied ICP-RIE to a 300GB ROM pattern. (author abst.)
