Silicon nitride can be etched using either wet chemistry or dry etch equipment. Wet chemistry is mainly used to remove all the nitride on the surface (backside and frontside) of a wafer. Dry etching etches one side at a time and can be used to etch structures with several masking materials. | Silicon nitride can be etched using either wet chemistry or dry etch equipment.
