  Deepa,
         Please try this ratio
CHF3:O2::30:7,pressure=300 and power =100.etch rate =200A per min.It will take
some 40 to 45 min for you to etch 8000A.
good luck
bye

A. It etches really fast (about 30 seconds) in 5:1 BOE, but doesn’t etch
at all in a dry etch system. I am using Oxygen and CHF3 for etching. I have
tried various gas ratios, power and pressure settings, but I am not able to etch
this layer. I need to use a dry etch for my application. Any suggestions about
etch or deposition is appreciated.
