Abstract
Released submicrometer microstructures in Si were patterned using Cl2 and F-based etching in inductively coupled plasma systems. Poly-Si trenches that were 0.1 μm wide and 4 μm deep with an aspect ratio of 40 were demonstrated with Cl2 etching. The resulting data indicate that a smooth etched surface without residues or enhanced lateral etching at the bottom of the trenches can be achieved by Cl2 etching.
