Back to Dry Etching Recipes.

DSEIII_(PlasmaTherm/Deep_Silicon_Etcher))

High Rate Bosch Etch (Si Deep RIE)

Si Deep RIE (PlasmaTherm/Bosch Etch)

Bosch and Release Etch (Si Deep RIE)

  • Bosch and Release Processes
    • Ideal for deep (>>1µm), vertical etching of Silicon. Through-wafer etches are possible (requires carrier wafer).
    • Etch rate depends on area of exposed silicon being etched.
    • Al2O3 mask (ALD or Sputter) has >9000:1 selectivity
    • SiO2 (PECVD) mask has ~100:1 selectivity
    • Thermal SiO2 has ~300:1 selectivity.
