Reduced Etch Lag and High Aspect Ratios by Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) [PDF]

open access: yesMicromachines, 2021
Deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) with the Bosch process is one of the key procedures used to manufacture micron-sized structures for MEMS and microfluidic applications in silicon and, hence, of increasing importance for miniaturisation in biomedical ...

Effect of process parameters on the surface morphology and mechanical performance of silicon structures after deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Microelectromechanical Systems, 2002
The ability to predict and control the influence of process parameters during silicon etching is vital for the success of most MEMS devices. In the case of deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) of silicon substrates, experimental results indicate that etch performance as well as surface morphology and post-etch mechanical behavior have a strong dependence ...

Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) of High Aspect Ratio SiC Microstructures Using a Time-Multiplexed Etch-Passivate Process [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials Science Forum, 2006
High aspect ratio silicon carbide (SiC) microstructures are needed for microengines and other harsh environment micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Previously, deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) of low aspect ratio (AR ≤1) deep (>100 *m) trenches in SiC has been reported. However, existing DRIE processes for SiC are not well-suited for definition

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 ...

Optimization of deep reactive ion etching for microscale silicon hole arrays with high aspect ratio

open access: yesMicro and Nano Systems Letters, 2022
During deep reactive ion etching (DRIE), microscale etch masks with small opening such as trenches or holes suffer from limited aspect ratio because diffusion of reactive ions and free radicals become progressively difficult as the number of DRIE cycle ...

Metasurface Fabrication by Cryogenic and Bosch Deep Reactive Ion Etching

open access: yesMicromachines, 2021
The research field of metasurfaces has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to its high potential to achieve flat, ultrathin optical devices of high performance. Metasurfaces, consisting of artificial patterns of subwavelength dimensions,

A two-level prediction model for deep reactive ion etch (DRIE) [PDF]

open access: yes18th IEEE International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems, 2005. MEMS 2005., 2005
The authors contribute a quantitative and systematic model to capture etch non-uniformity in deep reactive ion etch of MEMS devices. Non-uniformity depends on uneven distributions of ion and neutral species at the wafer level, and local consumption at the die level.

A Method for Improving Heat Dissipation and Avoiding Charging Effects for Cavity Silicon-on-Glass Structures

open access: yesActuators, 2023
Anode bonding is a widely used method for fabricating devices with suspended structures, and this approach is often combined with deep reactive-ion etching (DRIE) for releasing the device; however, the DRIE process with a glass substrate can potentially ...
