Etch mechanism of an Al2O3 hard mask in the Bosch process

The etching of high aspect ratio structures in silicon via the Bosch process is essential in modern technologies such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and through‑silicon vias (TSV) fabrication. The process can be very demanding on the mask selectivity due to long etching times, and it has b...
