10/3/2022 ND_Pan1_100322 132.9 1.19 High etch rate and selectivity.

May be due to angled ridge.

9/26/2022 ND_Pan1n_092622 111.1 0.90 This is the new wafer [30D] [CS]
9/26/2022 ND_Pan1o_092622 114.3 1.01 This is the old wafer [45D] [CS]
9/12/2022 ND_Pan1_091222 128.6 1.33 New Si wafer, higher etch rate/

selectivity

[30D] [CS]
9/01/2022 ND_Pan1_090122 120.9 1.05 [30D] [CS]
8/22/2022 ND_Pan1_082222 112.9 1.08 Etch Rate seems low

and selectivity on the lower side

3/3/2020 I12004 110 1.05 [2]
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".

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]
