===Slow etch of silicon nitride with resist as masking material - on 6" carrier wafer with recess ===
This recipe can be used for slow etching of silicon nitride with resist as masking material. Here are some test results presented. The same recipe is being used for SiO2, see the result for that here: [Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/ICP Metal Etcher/silicon oxide/
