Cr etch with end point on SiO2
Done April 2023 by bghe
The above images shows a view from Spectral View during etching Cr with DUV resist as masking material of a 6" wafer with more than to 50% open area. The standard Cr etch was used. The endpoint was most clearly seen with the parameters:
- Cr5208av (Average A for region Cr_5208)
- Cr_Avg_5208
- normClOverCr (ScalePct(CrOverCl, 10,20,100)
- smCr over Cl (Avg2(normCrOverCl, 50)
