Sidewall profile on 2/28/2020 etches is slanted, chamber will be wet-cleaned on 3/2/2020 and re-tested. Data for 3/3 shows etch returned to "normal".
2/28/2020	I12003	119	1.17	56.6	[3]
1/23/2020	I12002	109	1.16		[4]
Rate on 1/13/2020 is low by ~20%, so chamber was wet-cleaned on 1/21/2020. Data below for 1/23 shows rate returned to "normal".
1/13/2020	I12001	78.0	1.06	unusual - two regions	[5]
