Friends, We have ASE DRIE from STS. I will like to know if it is O.K to deposit C4F8 polymer layer on a metal piece using DRIE. As I understand , metal mask/ metal is not allowed in DRIE as metal gets sputtered away and contaminates the chamber when SF6 starts etching. But if one wants only to deposit polymer, is it O.K to use DRIE chamber with C4F8 plasma? -- Ashwini
