Help: RIE with small feature size

Hi Xiaodong,
   Wow, very small features! One trick that has worked for us in the
past is to run the etch and deposition gases simultaneously. Also, you
may have problems with a notch appearing immediately below the oxide.
This seems to occur due to local substrate charging. I believe you may
have to switch to a resist and control its profile near the etch window
to mitigate this effect.
