The SiO2:res_10 recipe was tested with the electromagnets on but it seems to no no good for the results.[[File:Contour Plot Y31 EM_02_30 white to blue.jpg|400px|thumb|left|Etched with EM:02/30 for 2min, average etch rate: 275 nm/min +- 4.5%.

Using the electromagnetic coil on the recipe SiO2_res_10 gave higher etch rate on this chip that was placed in the center of a 6" wafer. The Etch profile is more angles.  
Using the electromagnetic coil on the recipe SiO2_res_10 gave higher etch rate on this chip, which is positioned in the center of a 6" wafer. The Etch profile is more angled.  
*I few more test with resist mask and electromagnets can be found here: [[/EM with resist mask|EM with resist mask]]

==SiO2 Etch using aSi as masking material==
*Removing the H2 from the recipe to get less redeposition at lower platen power (200W), EM:02/30A. Se result below. This gave significantly lower etch rate and no etching in the smallest openings.

I was starting up development of SiO2 etch using aSi as masking material. This is on pause because the results did not look promishing on high aspect ratio structures wit DUV pattern due to large faceting on the aSi mask. I turned to Cr mask instead  <br>
The samples I use are:
*6" Si afters with oxide (2µm),
*aSi (~300nm),
*Neg. DUV reist (~60nm barc, ~350 nm resist)
*Reticle: Danchip/Triple-D
*Dose 230 J/m2
First I need to make sure that the resist work for pattering the aSi layer is good. If the resist is not good the final etch will also not be good.
 
===DUV optimization===
Dose test with the doses (J/m2): 200, 210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 270, 280
The aim was to get good line for 400nm pitch/200nm lines
