Aluminium etch
Unless otherwise stated, all content on this page was created by Jonas Michael-Lindhard, DTU Nanolab
The aluminium etch has two steps:
- Breakthrough
- The breakthrough step is designed to break through the native aluminium oxide layer that is present on all aluminium surfaces. The duration of this step should remain fixed.
- Main
- The main step etches bulk aluminium.
| Parameter | Process step | |
|---|---|---|
| Breakthrough | Main | |
| Time (secs) | 20 | 40 (variable) |
| HBr (sccm) | - | 15 |
| Cl2 (sccm) | 20 | 25 |
| Pressure (mTorr) | 2, Strike 3 sec@5 mTorr | 1 |
| Coil power (W) | 600 | 500 |
