Etching of Titanium

Etching of titanium can be done either by wet etch, dry etch or by sputtering with ions.


Comparison of Titanium Etch Methodes

IBE (Ionfab300+)
Generel description Sputtering of Lithium niobate - pure physical etch Dry plasma etch of Ti
Etch rate range
    • ~20nm/min
  • ~50-200 nm/min (depending on features size and etch load and recipe settings)
Etch profile
    • Anisotropic (angles sidewalls, typical around 70 dg)
  • Anisotropic (vertical sidewalls)
Substrate size

Smaller pieces glued to carrier wafer

  • #1 50mm wafer
  • #1 100mm wafer
  • #1 150mm wafer
  • #1 200mm wafer
  • smaller pieces on a carrier wafer
  • #1 100mm wafers (if you place it/bond it on a 150 mm carrier wafer)
  • #1 150mm wafers
