Which risk increases during plasma etching when substrate temperature rises?

💡 Explanation

Increased substrate temperature enhances kinetics therefore the etching of mask material accelerates, because activated chemical reactions proceed more rapidly. This mechanism is Arrhenius rate dependence, rather than deposition and chamber wall polymerization, which become prominent at cooler temperatures.
