The shallolr recipe is designed to etch features (with sizes above 1 µm) in silicon down to a depth that ranges from a few microns to some 50 microns. (If you need to etch deeper use Deepetch or more shallow, see Nanoetches.) It is specified to etch a 2 µm wide trench down to a depth of 20 µm on a wafer that has a global/local etch opening density of 10%.

The process runs for 31 cycles (5:56 mins). The fact that it's Bosch process is clear from the scallops on the sidewalls - one should be able to count 31 of them.
