  1. Deep reactive-ion etching - Wikipedia

    • Deep reactive-ion etching (DRIE) is a special subclass of reactive-ion etching (RIE). It enables highly anisotropic etch process used to create deep penetration, steep-sided holes and trenches in wafers/substrates, typically with high aspect ratios. It was developed for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), which require these features, but is also used to excav… See more

    Cryogenic process

    In cryogenic-DRIE, the wafer is chilled to −110 °C (163 K). The low temperature slows down the chemical reaction that … See more

    Bosch process

    The Bosch process, named after the German company Robert Bosch GmbH which patented the process, also known as pulsed or time-multiplexed etching, alternates repeatedly between two modes to achieve … See more

    Applications

    Etching depth typically depends on the application:
    • in DRAM memory circuits, capacitor trenches may be 10–20 μm deep,
    • in MEMS, DRIE is used for anything from a few microm… See more
