It is possible to etch SiO2 in the ICP metal etcher but it is not designed for it and the results are not fantastic. It is a challenge to get a good selectivity to resist (typically in the range of 1:1 or worse) and it is probably not possible to get a profile angle of 90 degrees. More likely about 75-85 degrees. Different chemistries can be applied either based on CF4 or C4F8. If seems that C4F8 can give the best selectivity to resist (best case I have seem was 1:11 but it depends a lot on the process parameters)).  If low coil power is needed CF4 chemistry is used because C4F8 needs a higher power to generate a plasma.

It is possible to etch SiO2 in the ICP metal etcher but it is not designed for it and we prefer that you do it elsewhere.

Different chemistries can be applied either based on CF4 or C4F8.
