What is etching in semiconductor processing?
Etching removes material uniformly or locally to form microcircuit patterns.
Etching Role and Definition - Concept
Material removal to create patterns on wafers
What is the goal of dry etching in photolithography?
To transfer the photolithographic pattern by removing uncovered oxide.
Wet vs Dry Etching - Difference
Wet uses chemicals; dry uses plasma gases
How does wet chemical etching remove material?
It dissolves material directly or converts it into a soluble compound.
Dry Etching Equipment - Example
Samco reactive ion etcher
What type of chemicals does dry etching use?
Dry etching uses gases instead of liquid chemicals.
Pre-Start Checks - Key step
Verify power, valves, gases, and pressures
Wafer Loading Steps - Key
Auto mode, vent chamber, open lid, load wafer, close lid
System Startup - Process
Power on, start pumps, wait for rpm
Wet Resist and Oxide Etching - Purpose
Remove oxide and resist with chemical processes
