PURPOSE:To have a homogeneous etching on silicon nitride film, by adding N2 gas in the process of reactive ion etching where plasma is generated by introducing CF4 gas. CONSTITUTION:Any of the CF4, C2F6 and C3F6 gases can be used. The quantity of N gas to be added depends upon the ...
The chemical dry etching of silicon nitride (Si3N4)and silicon nitride (SiO2) in a downstream plasma reactor using CF4,O2, and N2 has been investigated. A comparison of the Si3N4 and SiO2 etch rates with that of polycrystalline silicon shows that the etch rates of Si3N4 and SiO2 are no...

Nitride Etch Trend – Single Wafer Processing Single wafer processing in semiconductor manufacturing was first introduced almost 15 years ago. Dry etching equipment initially adopted the technology for various processing advantages including lowering the cost of consumables and high repeatability and reliabilit...
The pattern was transferred into the silicon layer by dry etching employing a reactive ion etcher (gas composition of SF6:CHF3 1:1.16). The silicon was shallow-etched to ensure ∼30 nm of silicon between the access waveguide and the optical cavity remained in order to ensure electrical ...
Interdigital molybdenum (Mo) electrodes excite an aluminium nitride (AlN) piezoelectric layer that converts the input RF photons into phonons, which acoustically transduce a V\({}_{Si}^{-}\) spin shown by a yellow-to-green arrow to observe ODSAR. Alternatively, the spin can be magnetically...
Silicon Nitride (SiN) on Silicon Wafers Who Makes the Best Silicon Wafers? Who Makes the Best Silicon Wafers in the World? This question is a common one. There are many companies that produce semiconductor-grade silicon wafers, but few are truly leaders in their field. These companies are of...
When resist patterns are formed directly on silicon nitride (SiN), it is common for cone defects to arise after the SiN dry-etching process. When subsequent layers are deposited, the layers pile up around a cone defect like a side wall, causing it to expand. These expanded cone defects can...
essential to large-volume manufacturing. The patterns are then dry-etched into the SiO2substrate to create waveguide preforms. We note that our SiO2dry etching does not introduce a trade-off between the etch verticality and surface roughness. Figure2d top shows the sidewall bottom angle 90∘ ...
Finally, using an Al mask, a tapered silicon tip with a top diameter of 119.3 nm is fabricated using the isotropic etching process. Keywords: silicon dry etching; undercut; mask materials; Bosch process 1. Introduction Silicon etching is a vital process in the fabrication of many ...
