Radical and ion densities in a $CF_4$plasma have been calculated as a function of input power density, gas pressure and feed gas flow rate using simple 0 dimensional global model. Fluorine atom is found to be the most abundant neutral particle. Highly fragmented species such as CF and $CF^+$ become dominant neutral and ionic radical at the high power condition. As the pressure increase, ion density increases but ionization rate decreases due to the decrease in electron temperature. The fractional dissociation of $CF_4$feed gas decreases with pressure after increasing at the low pressure range. Electron density and temperature are almost independent of flow rate within calculation conditions studied. The fractional dissociation of $CF_4$monotonically decreases with flow rate, which results in increase in $CF_3$and decrease in CF density. The calculation results show that the $SiO_2$etch selectivity improvement correlates to the increase in the relative density of fluorocarbon ion and neutral radicals which has high C/F ratio.
