The effects of [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/DRIE-Pegasus/showerheadchange|changing of the showerhead in December 2014]] was investigated. Patterned wafers were processed before and after and the profile of the etched features were inspected in SEM. Click on the numbers in the 'Runs' column below to see the profiles.

Process A is labelled Large trench (80μm wide) 150μm depth. In the acceptance test the process was run on a 150 mm SPTS wafer with 12-13 % etch load.
Process A is intended as a wide trench (80μm wide) depth etched down some 150 µm. Below are the results from a run on a 150 mm wafer with 12-13 % etch load.

Without pre-etch measurements of the thicknesses of the photoresist it is not possible to determine the resist etch rate. However, it looks very uniform.
