Unless otherwise stated, all content in this section was done by Maria Farinha@DTU Nanolab, May 2023

This recipe was taken from the ICP Metal etch, with a slight difference in the platen temperature.

Parameter Recipe name: SiO2_ICP
Coil Power [W] 1000
Platen Power [W] 200
Platen temperature [oC] 20
C4F8 flow [sccm] 10
H2 flow [sccm] 28
Pressure [mTorr] 2.5
