Data - InP Ridge Etch (Unaxis VLR)

PECVD SiO2 hardmask, patterned on Stepper #2 (AutoStep 200) & Panasonic ICP #1

InP Ridge Etch: 200°C, 1.4mT, 800W/125W, Cl2=6.3, H2=12.7, Ar=2.0 sccm, time=1min30sec (90sec)

Sample Size: 1x1cm epi-grade InP, ~30-40% SiO2 masking (NingC's pattern). Silicon carrier, no adhesive.

Conditioning: Prior to the etch, do O2 clean 15 minutes, then, chamber coating with the same recipe on 1/4-2" InP on Silicon carrier for 15 minutes.

Date Sample# Etch Rate (nm/min) Etch Selectivity (InP/SiO2) Comments SEM Images
