In the case of the silicon etching on the ASE, an etch phase with SF<sub>6</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> alternates with a passivation phase with C<sub>4</sub>F<sub>8</sub>.

=== The two standard silicon etch recipes ===
Two recipes have been optimized for the ASE. Their specification is on a 10 % etch load wafer with trenches.
* '''Shallolr''': The shallow etch process will etch a 2 µm opening down to make a 20 µm trench.
* '''Deepetch''': The deep etch process will etch a 50 µm opening down to make a 300 µm trench.
The standardization procedure on the ASE covers these two etches.
