Before going into details on why it makes sense to optimize the processes using the picoscope process monitoring, we need to have a look at how monitoring processes is usually done.

After a few years in its original configuration, we decided to upgrade Pegasus 1 with the [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/DRIE-Pegasus/showerheadchange|High flow plenum]] upgrade to improve the fast switching performance. As a result, the original recipe Process D was changed to Process D4 with faster cycles. The process parameters are listed in the table below.

It was professor [https://www.dtu.dk/service/telefonbog/person?id=103402&cpid=191195&tab=1 Henri Jansen] at DTU Nanolab who came up with the idea of adding the Picoscope to the Pegasi tools. Since then his group has researched a lot into its possibilities. Below is a list of publications in which the Picoscope plays a crucial role:
