Abstract

The RIE dry etching of Benzocyclobutene are studied to develop a compatible process for high-speed VCSEL and PD fabrications. SF6, O2 and N2 are selected as the process gases with their functions in the dry etching process explained. Optimal gas ratio of SF6 to O2 is 1:4. Controlled experiments are performed to identify the optimal power and pressure configurations for a new RIE system. The main problem is pointed out to be excessive physical sputtering from experiments. A clean etching recipe is finally developed to produce ideal etching results.
