THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
I tried with two different gas regimes: CF4 and C4F8. I only made a few tests with CF4 since I got a very bad selectivity to the resist mask and I dicided to go for the C4F8 instead.
C4F8
I started out with a recipe developed by Peixiong called pxSiO2try9, look at his results here
Parameter | Mask material | Barc etch | Coil power | Platen power | Pressure | Flow rate C4F8 | Flow rate H2 | Flow rate Ar | T | Process time | Comment | Results | CD change (mask 55% trench) after s007467 is it <50% after barc etch trench opening as a fraction of pitch |

CF4
I stopped trying with CF4 because I got bad selectivty to the resist and decided to focus on the recipe with C4F8 instead.
