Hello all,
I'm trying to etch square holes of dimensions ranging from 10um by 10 um
to 64um by 64um in Silicon dioxide. The problem is I wish to etch 10um
deep and my photoresist, AZ4562 has a poor selectivity for the various
fluorine base gases I have tried thus far (CHF4, CHF/O2/Ar, SF6).
I've been doing some reading and metal masks seem to be the solution.
Has anyone ever done any deep silicon dioxide etching? If so any
hints/tips/advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
