Si samples with about 100 nm of [[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Thin_film_deposition/ALD_Picosun_R200|ALD]] deposited Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (1000 cycles at 300<sup>o</sup>C) has been etched in different HF concentrations. After the etching, the thickness of the Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> layer has been measured, and the thickness as function of time has been plotted as shown in the graph below.
