The fabrication of many such devices requires patterning of the silicon but until recently exploitation of the technology has been restricted by the difficulty of forming the ever-smaller features and higher aspect ratios demanded. Plasma etching through a mask layer is a very useful means for fine-dimension patterning of silicon. In this work, several solutions are presented for the micro-and nano-scale etching of silicon using inductively coupled plasmas ICP.
