4etching — [1] A roughening or disintegration of the paint surface, which can occur on small patches or over a wide area, through attack from bird droppings, soap deposits, industrial fallout, etc. Also called lifting. [2] The removal of soil or the natural …
5Reactive-ion etching — (RIE) is an etching technology used in microfabrication. It uses chemically reactive plasma to remove material deposited on wafers. The plasma is generated under low pressure (vacuum) by an electromagnetic field. High energy ions from the plasma… …
6Dry etching — refers to the removal of material, typically a masked pattern of semiconductor material, by exposing the material to a bombardment of ions (usually a plasma of reactive gases such as fluorocarbons, oxygen, chlorine, boron trichloride; sometimes… …
7Deep reactive-ion etching — (DRIE) is a highly anisotropic etch process used to create deep penetration, steep sided holes and trenches in wafers, with aspect ratios of 20:1 or more. It was developed for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), which require these features,… …
8Plasma etching — is a form of plasma processing used to fabricate integrated circuits. It involves a high speed stream of glow discharge (plasma) of an appropriate gas mixture being shot (in pulses) at a sample. The plasma source, known as etch species, can be… …
