Development work: SiO2 etch with resist mask, sample on carrier (Si carrier)

By Berit Herstrøm @danchip, January-Marts 2018

The challenge was to develop a SiO2 etching recipe that can be used for samples on a carrier. Samples that cannot be clamped and cooled. The goal was to keep a good selectivity to the resist mask and get a vertical sidewall, without getting a lot of redeposition on the sidewalls. The testing regime was using both the coil power and the platen power with C4F8/H2 chemistry.

The recommended recipe for SiO2 etch using a carrier is this

Parameter Recipe name: 1SiO2_02
Coil Power [W] 150
Platen Power [W] 25
Platen temperature [oC] 20
C4F8 flow [sccm] 36
H2 flow [sccm] 13
Pressure [mTorr] 2.5
