Dear All, I have a 4" si wafer(Thickness=550um) and on the top of si surface, I have 7000A thermal SiO2. I need to pattern my oxide and open by BHF. After opening, I need to do DRIE to etch all way,550um to make a gap inside my wafer. I am using AZ 4620 as a mask for BHF as well as mask for DRIE. I got 11.35um with: 1- spin HMDS: 3000rpm for 30 sec, 2- Spin AZ 4620: 2000rpm for 30 sec, 3-wait for 15 min to get flat surface, 4- softbake in oven(90c) for 30min, 5- expose 30sec with 23mw/cm2, 6- develope AZ400:DI(1:3) ~4min, 7- Hardbake 120c for 30min. After doing lithography, I get very good pattern but the problem I have is that when I put my sample in BHF to open my oxide, it seems BHF attacks AZ 4620 from the border of my pattern. I really appreciate if anybody has a solution. Best regards Hasan Sharifi Best regards, Hasan Sharifi
