Dry etching of ternary metal carbide TiAlC via surface modification using floating wire-assisted vapor plasma

Abstract Dry etching of ternary metal carbides TiAlC has been first developed by transferring from wet etching to dry etching using a floating wire (FW)-assisted Ar/ammonium hydroxide vapor plasma. FW-assisted non-halogen vapor plasma generated at medium pressure can produce high-density reactive ra...
