Hi Mathieu, There's an article in Vacuum called "reactive ion etching of quartz and silica-based glasses in CF4/CHF3 plasmas" by Patrick W. Leech. Vacuum 55 (1999) pp. 191-196 (No info about mask material though as far as I can see.) and not about quartz but maybe informative: Deep reactive ion etching of Pyrex glass using SF6 plasma, Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, Volume 87, Issue 3, 5 January 2001, Pages 139-145 Kind regards, Heiko van der Linden ******************************* MESA+ Research Institute Twente University P.O.

Which mask materials, photoresist,... should be used? Any comments and/or etch recipes are welcome.
