Dry etching

For dry etching, you can use AJA systems or Plassys Evaporator. AJA1 and Plassys have an Ion gun for DC Kaufman milling, and in AJA2 you can do RF milling.

Erch rate with AJA1

  • Argon flow: 15 sccm.
  • pressure: 1 mTorr.
  • Angle: 90 degree tilt , i.e. head on.
  • Milling duration: 2 minutes warm-up followed by 4 minutes milling.

Kaufmann settings

  • cathode Amps = 7.0
  • Discharge Volts = 40.0
  • Discharge Amps = 0.5
  • Beam Volts = 300.0
  • beam Amps = 23.0
  • Accelerator Volts = 120.0
  • Accelerator Amps = 10.0
  • Emission mAmps = 46.0
  • Neutralizer Amps = 11.0
