Hi Shimul, I got the same problem years ago. I have solved it simply by changing the flow ratio between SF6 and C4F8. You can find more information in my paper: Fei Wang, Xinxin Li, Nanxiang Guo, Yuelin Wang, and Songlin Feng, “A silicon cantilever probe card with tip-to-pad electric feed-through and automatic isolation of the metal coating,” Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, Volume 16, Issue 7, pp. 1215-1220, 2006. Hope it helps. Fei 2009/5/19, shimul saha: > Hello, > > I am using BOSCH process for deep dry etching of silicon. The gases are SF6, > O2 during etching cycles and C4F8 during deposition cycles..
