'''How to add news items'''
  +
  +
* New news item should be inserted at the TOP of the list
  +
* Item titles should have a level 3 heading, like so: === MyArticleTitle ===
  +
* Each item should finish with the user signature (four tildes: ~~~~) on it's own separated line. When you 'Save' the page, this will be replaced with a timestamp and your user name.
  +
* Then delete your username, leaving only the two dashes, so "[[User:Thibeault|-- Brain Thibeault]]" becomes "[[User:Thibeault|-- ]]"
  +
* Also delete the "[[... (talk)]]" link
  +
* The timestamp determines the order of items in the feed. Items without a timestamp will show up at the end of the feed in random order.

New Process Control data tables

We have added "Process Control Data" - data on deposition/etch repeatability - to a number of our highest used etchers and deposition tools. The datasheets are linked in multiple places, mainly on the Recipes pages for each tool, or on the general Recipes pages for Deposition Recipes or Etch Recipes. // John d 16:07, 5 January 2023 (PST)

Oxford PlasmaPro ICP Etcher installed

We have a new ICP etcher in Bay 2: Oxford_ICP_Etcher_(PlasmaPro_100_Cobra)

The tool has been qualified for InP Ridge and InGaAsP Grating etches, and is intended for III-V etching in general (GaAs, GaN, GaSb etc.)

In addition, the tool is capable of Atomic Layer Etching on various materials. Contact the supervisor for training. // John d 11:27, 29 September 2021 (PDT)

SiO2 etching, High-Aspect Ratio

Dr. Bill Mitchell recently published an article detailing high-aspect ratio SiO2 etching (JVST-A, May 2021) in the Plasma-Therm Fluorine ICP etcher, using a novel Ruthenium Hard Mask.

Ruthenium can be deposited using the Oxford ALD or AJA Sputter and etched in one of the Panasonic ICP's.

You can find a full process flow at the FL-ICP's Recipe Page, in this case using a Sputtered Ru hard mask and I-line stepper lithography. // John d 08:05, 27 May 2021 (PDT)
