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/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.

The user manual, user APV and contact information can be found in LabManager:
