SF6 Glas etching

Dear colleagues
>From the publication of Ichiki et al. Thin Solid Films 435 (2003) 62-68
I learned that glas
etching with SF6 and Ar works quiet well. When we bought 4 years ago a
ICP system (STS)
for Si deep etching and a RIE system for glas (resp SiO2, Si3N4) etching
we were told from STS not to do
both processes in the same chamber because of reproducibility.
Does anyone has experience in running glas etch (SF6/Ar) and silicon
deep etching
on the same ICP system. Do I contaminate the si deep etching chamber by
glass etching
or is it possible to clean up the system without open it (no mechanical
clean)?

Thanks for response.
Greetings
Stefan
