The Bosch process uses alternation between an etch cycle and a passivation cycle. In the case of the silicon etching on the ASE, an etch phase with SF<sub>6</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> alternates with a passivation phase with C<sub>4</sub>F<sub>8</sub>.

Two recipes have been optimized for the ASE:
Two recipes have been optimized for the ASE. The specification is on a 10 % etch load wafer with trenches.
* '''Shallolr'''
* '''Shallolr''': The shallow etch process will etch a 2 <math>\mu</math>m feature down to 20 <math>\mu</math>m trench.
This shallow etch process will produce a 20 <math>\mu</math>m  
* '''Deepetch''': The deep etch process will etch a 50 <math>\mu</math>m feature down to 300 <math>\mu</math>m trench.
 
and a deep etch deepetch. They have been designed
