Information on this page given by Alberto Cagliani February 2015

Using the standard oxide recipe (SiO2_res) for 1 min the CSAR looked burned (test 2016-08-19 resist did not look burned after 1 min) and could not be removed by CSAR stripper (AR600-71). Using the following settings the resist did not looked burned and could be removed by CSAR stripper:

Parameter Recipe name:
Coil Power [W] 450
Platen Power [W] 80
Platen temperature [oC] 0
He flow [sccm] 174
C4F8 flow [sccm] 5
H2 flow [sccm] 4
Pressure [mTorr] 4


Typical results Negative Resist mask Nanolab result
Etch rate of thermal oxide ~105 nm/min (<5% etch load)
Selectivity to CSAR [:1] ~2
Profile [o] not measured
Images none
Comments CSAR did not burn and could be removed by AR600-71
