I use SF6 to go through a TiO2/SiO2 layer stack (14 layers) with no problem until I get to the last SiO2 later. It is a soft layer of "I don't know what". DI water and a cotton swap has worked best so far but would like to dry etch clean. I use a Trion RIE also. Anyone else like to comment?

What process setting you are using and what is your mask. Is it a photoresist and what type. IF you get any info from anyone else, please let me know.
