Hi, jingliu:
If you are designing test mask, you can design a series of comb finger
widths and a series of gap widths, for example from 2um to 10um. Because the
design rule depends on the parameters of DRIE equipment and properties of
SOI materials. So I think it does not have general design rules for
individual DRIE equipment.
