Abstract

A semiconductor substrate can be loaded into a plasma chamber, the semiconductor substrate having a through opening within a mask layer disposed over the semiconductor substrate. Using a plasma process, a through substrate via can be formed within the semiconductor substrate. The through substrate via can have a circular shape or an annulus shape with an inner semiconductor core. The plasma process can include exposing the through opening to a plasma chemistry formed from a gas mixture comprising boron, chlorine, fluorine, carbon, and sulfur.
