The Oxford PlasmaPro 100 Cobra is a versatile dry etch tool for deep silicon etching using Bosch or cryogenic processes, as well as fluorine- and chlorine-based etching of silicon, III-V semiconductors, and dielectrics. An inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) source creates a high density of reactive species, while ion energy can be controlled separately using the RIE source.
