Hi Yan Xin,

   Try key words "Black Si method"

Regards,

> Hi everyone,
>
> In DRIE using ICP plasma source,  After glow discharge, SF6  will be
> diassosciated . There are radicals(F atom), neutrals(SF6 ? ),
> electrons, positive ion(SF5+ or SFx+), negetive ion(F-).
>
> 1) How to transport the F atom to the bottom of the trench without

>
> 2) Which is the main etchant, The radicals(F atom) or positive ions

> 3) Negtive ions (F- ) cannot reach the bottom of trench, is it a waste?
>
> 4) How does the ion/neutral ratio influence the etching if the
> ratical (F atom) is the main etchant?
>
> references or  suggestions will be appreciated
