The Si / Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> / BARC / DUV stack was first processed in Pegasus 2 to etch the BARC layer (recipe named "barc gentle etch", ER=5.42nm/min), and the alumina was etched in the III-V ICP, using a BCl<sub>3</sub> / Ar recipe, which has an ER = 0.45 nm/min. With the pillars and holes samples, the BARC was also etched for 12 min on Pegasus 2, followed by 90 minutes on the III-V ICP. <br>

For the nanoholes, the Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> layer was etched for 260 minutes on the III-V ICP. The next thing would be to etch the BARC layer on Pegasus 2, however, it was seen that after the III-V ICP process, the leftover resist on the sample was removed during the CORE process on Pegasus 2, having no need to do the dedicated barc gentle etch recipe.
