Anders has done some work on optimizing the Cr etch for at 20-40 nm thick Cr that was to be used as masking for a silicon nitride etch. The Cr etch was carriered out on the ICP metal and the silicon nitride etch was done on the AOE. You can see his results in this summery that he has made:

Chromium etch in ICP metal - small substrate using carrier

The Chromium etch was carried out on the following substrate stack: 2" Si wafer with Cr laying in a 6" Si wafer with a 4" recess. The area outside the recess was covered by AZ resist. The work was carried out be Erol Zekovic @Nanotech and BGHE@nanolab

Chromium etch of hardmask for silicon nitride etching by Anders Simonsen@nbi.ku

Added by bghe@Nanolab Anders has done some work on optimizing the Cr etch for at 20-40 nm thick Cr that was to be used as masking for a silicon nitride etch. The Cr etch was carriered out on the ICP metal and the silicon nitride etch was done on the AOE. You can see his results in this summery that he has made:

Chromium etch in ICP metal on a thick glass substrate

The Chromium etch has ONLY been carried out on the following substrate stack: The Chromium is sputter deposited onto a 2" quartz wafer and patterned by e-beam with Zep520A resist. This 2" QZ wafer is bonded with crystal bond to a 65mmx65mm quartz plate with the thickness: 6.35mm. This QZ plate is bonded to a Si wafer.
