description Aimed at the problem of the small wet etching depth in sapphire microstructure processing technology, a multilayer composite mask layer is proposed. The thickness of the mask layer is studied, combined with the corrosion rate of different materials on sapphire in the sapphire etching solution, different mask layers are selected for the corrosion test on the sapphire sheet, and then the corrosion experiment is carried out. The results show that at 250 °C, the choice is relatively high when PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) is used to make a double-layer composite film of silicon dioxide and silicon nitride. When the temperature rises to 300 °C, the selection ratio of the silicon dioxide layer grown by PECVD is much greater than that of the silicon nitride layer. Therefore, under high temperature conditions, a certain thickness of silicon dioxide can be used as a mask layer for deep cavity corrosion.
