        BCB:  7 SF6, 43 O2, 4 mT,  800W, 150W, 20 degrees C. 


e.g  Novolac polymer, oxide hard mask:    50 CO2, 4 mT, 0 degrees C,  600W, 150W.  This will etch PMGI, PI, & standard resists.  We've never tried it for PMMA, but it should work


An alternative chemistry for standard resists,PI,  PMMA is 20 O2, 20 He, 3 mT, 600W, 150 W, 10 degrees C.  This will give higher etch rates &  better selectivities, but slightly more bowed profiles
