Abstract:
More than a decade ago, DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching) of silicon appeared as a key enabling technology for the emerging MEMS industry. Derived from the semiconductor plasma etching tools, the DRIE has been adapted to the specific needs of the micro-machining of silicon involved in the structuring of large and high aspect ratio features.
