Abstract
Very deep trenches in Si with smooth controllable profiles are etched using a fluorine-based Reactive Ion Etcher(RIE). The effect of various mask materials and loading on the profile is examined using the Black Silicon Method. It is found that most metal layers have an almost infinite selectivity. When the aspect ratio of the trenches is beyond five, RIE lag is found to be an important effect. Evidence is found that this effect is caused by the bowing of incoming ions by the electrical field.
