B. Darling / EE-527 / Winter 2013. Etch Uniformity and Roughness The uniformity of an etch gives a bound on how level a surface it will produce after starting from an initially flat surface. Uniformity is a long-scale measure of surface height variation. The roughness of an etch gives a bound on how flat a surface it will produce after starting from an initially flat surface.
• Example: For 10:1 BOE etching a Si wafer surface that contains SiO 2, aluminum metalization, and Si 3 N 4 spacers: – 10:1 BOE SEL for SiO 2 / aluminum = ~ 15:1 – 10:1 BOE SEL for SiO 2 / Si 3 N 4 = ~100:1 – 10:1 BOE SEL for SiO 2 / Si substrate = > 10,000 : 1 • Selectivity is usually dependent upon etch formulation, concentration,
