Etch rates in different materials using the standard "Silicon oxide etch with resist mask"

Material to be etched Etch rate using SiO2_res
Thermal oxide
  • ~230nm/min (5% etch load) - etch load dependency see here
  • 200 nm/min fall 2016 by Martin Lind Ommen @nanotech
TEOS oxide (5% load) 233nm/min ±0.7% - "±" represents the non-uniformity over a 100mm wafer - etched in Marts 2013 by LN/BGE@danchip
PECVD1 (standard) oxide (5% load) 242nm/min ±0.6% - "±" represents the non-uniformity over a 100mm wafer - etched in Marts 2013 by LN/BGE@danchip
Al2O3 from the ALD
  • 34.2 nm/min (1:6 to SiO2) fall 2016 by Martin Lind Ommen @nanotech
  • 50nm can be etched in 10min - See results here etched in November 2014 by FRSTO@danchip
Silicon rich nitride from furnace B2 136nm was etched in 1min (whole wafer) - etched in October 2015 by bghe@danchip
Cr 6 nm/min (1:33 to SiO2) fall 2016 by Martin Lind Ommen @nanotech
Al 18nm/min (1:11 to SiO2) fall 2016 by Martin Lind Ommen @nanotech
