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

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

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