Lectures will include basics of plasma etching mechanisms with relevant examples relating to compound semiconductor, dielectric, metal, and deep silicon etching. State-of-the-art etching technologies for deep silicon will be reviewed. Fundamental and new ideas for endpoint detection and sample thermal budget management will be presented.

The Workshop is intended to provide understanding and insight to those working with plasma etching processes and equipment. The goal is to help researchers make faster progress on projects requiring plasma processing. The course has been very well received at Harvard, UC Berkeley, UCLA, USF, Notre Dame, Cornell, IMRE (Singapore), Lund (Sweden), ISCAS, UCSB, Stanford, SINANO, and UT Austin. Graduate students, post docs, professors, and staff have all found the material useful. Please be assured that the course is not an advertisement about Plasma-Therm products.
