Dry Etch Recipe AZ 1420 resist in Oxygen Based RIE

Recipe

Gases:
O220 sccm
Pressure4 Pa
RF Power40-50 W
Bias potential-180 V

Etch characteristics

Etch rate: 20 nm/min
Anisotropy: 100 %

Selectivity

Selective over all non-organic materials

Remarks

Etch rate does not depend on bake temperature of the resist
Large aspect ratio dependence; over etch may be required
Reproducibility: 5 %
This process is also used for descumming (15-20 s) and sharpening resist profiles
