I tried with two different gas regimes: CF4 and C4F8. I only made a few tests with CF4 since I got a very bad selectivity to the resist mask and I dicided to go for the C4F8 instead.

C4F8

I started out with a recipe developed by Peixiong called pxSiO2try9, look at his results here

CF4

I stopped trying with CF4 because I got bad selectivty to the resist and decided to focus on the recipe with C4F8 instead.
