High temperature reactive ion etching of iridium thin films with aluminum mask in CF4/O2/Ar plasma

Reactive ion etching (RIE) technology for iridium with CF4/O2/Ar gas mixtures and aluminum mask at high temperatures up to 350 °C was developed. The influence of various process parameters such as gas mixing ratio and substrate temperature on the etch rate was studied in order to find optimal proces...
