Hi, I would like to post the following question to the discussion group: Is there anyone who knows if it is possible to etch 6 µm deep, 0,5 µm wide grooves in silicon dioxide (like a fused silica wafer) with perfectly smooth sidewalls? Can one use ordinary RIE and photoresist or does one need a DRIE, ICP or other techniques?
