Deep reactive ion etching of silicon carbide [PDF]
In this article, we describe more than 100-μm-deep reactive ion etching (RIE) of silicon carbide (SiC) in oxygen-added sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) plasma. We used a homemade magnetically enhanced, inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etcher (ME-ICP-RIE) and electroplated nickel masks. First, 5 h etching experiments using etching gases with 0%, 5%, 10%

The black silicon method II: the effect of mask material and loading on the reactive ion etching of deep silicon trenches [PDF]
Very deep trenches in Si with smooth controllable profiles are etched using a fluorine-based Reactive Ion Etcher(RIE). The effect of various mask materials and loading on the profile is examined using the Black Silicon Method. It is found that most metal
