Low-temperature smoothing method of scalloped DRIE trench by post-dry etching process based on SF6 plasma

open access: yesMicro and Nano Systems Letters, 2020
Deep reactive-ion etching (DRIE) is commonly used for high aspect ratio silicon micromachining. However, scalloping, which is the result of the alternating Bosch process of DRIE, can cause many problems in the subsequent process and degrade device ...

Deep reactive ion etching of silicon carbide [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Vacuum Science & Technology B: Microelectronics and Nanometer Structures Processing, Measurement, and Phenomena, 2001
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]

open access: yes, 1994
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

Carrier lifetimes in gold–hyperdoped silicon—Influence of dopant incorporation methods and concentration profiles

open access: yesAPL Materials, 2022
Incorporating ultrahigh concentrations of deep-level dopants in silicon drastically alters silicon’s optoelectronic properties. Photodiodes built from silicon hyperdoped with gold extend light sensitivity into the shortwave infrared region, far beyond ...
