Chromium etch in ICP metal
The Chromium etch has ONLY been carried out on the following substrate stack: The Chromium is sputter deposited onto a 2" quartz wafer and pattered by e-beam with Zep520A resist. This 2" QZ wafer is bonded with crystal bond to a 65mmx65mm quartz plate with the thickness: 6.35mm. This QZ plate is bonded to a Si wafer.
