You need high bias power. BCl3 helps if you've got it. Dry etching is mostly physical with a minor chemical component. Etch rates will be a few hundred angstroms/min, best case. You don't mention if you require selectivity to a mask or if you have a mask present. For stopping on the alumina, some CF4 or other source of fluorine will help.
