Bob, Good to see you are still active on the web. You are right about the addition of CF4 one of our customers is using 30% CF4, 70% O2, running hot near 270 degrees C and removing 8 microns of hard baked Polymide in 4 minutes.

This will help to remove some of the filler material which is contained in Polyimides. It doesn't always give a clean etch but it works for most imides.
