Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for gas-phase bromine trifluoride (BrF.sub.3) silicon isotropic room temperature etching system for both bulk and surface micromachining. The gas-phase BrF.sub.3 can be applied in a pulse mode and in a continuous flow mode. The etching rate in pulse mode is dependent on gas concentration, reaction pressure, pulse duration, pattern opening area and effective surface area.
