The ICP Metal Etcher allows you to dry etch a small set of metals that includes aluminium, titanium, chromium, titanium tungsten and molybdenum (along with the related oxides and nitrides). It is, despite its name, strictly forbidden to etch (or expose to plasma) other metals. In order to do so use the [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/IBE&frasl;IBSD Ionfab 300|IBE/IBSD Ionfab 300]].

The ICP Metal Etcher

The SPTS ICP Metal Etcher in the DTU Nanolab cleanroom B-1

Name: PRO ICP
Vendor: STS (now SPTS)
The ICP Metal Etcher allows you to dry etch a small set of metals that includes aluminium, titanium, chromium, titanium tungsten and molybdenum (along with the related oxides and nitrides). It is, despite its name, strictly forbidden to etch (or expose to plasma) other metals. In order to do so use the IBE/IBSD Ionfab 300.

An overview of the performance of the ICP Metal Etcher and some process related parameters

Purpose Dry etch of
  • Metals such as aluminium, chromium and titanium and the related oxides and nitrides
  • Metals such as molybdenum, tungsten, titanium tungsten
Performance Etch rates
  • Aluminium : ~350 nm/min (depending on features size and etch load)
Anisotropy
  • Good
Process parameter range Process pressure
  • ~0.1-95 mTorr
Gas flows
SF6: 0-100 sccm O2: 0-100 sccm
C4F8: 0-100 sccm Ar: 0-300 sccm
CF4: 0-100 sccm H2: 0-30 sccm
CH4: not working BCl3: 0-90 sccm
Cl2: 0-100 sccm HBr: 0-100 sccm
Substrates Batch size
