What’s Reactive Ion Etching?

Reactive ion etching is a microfabrication technology that removes substances from semiconductors without sacrificing wafer integrity. It uses a vacuum chamber with gas and electromagnetic fields to create plasma and remove defects. It is more expensive than wet etching but more effective in hard-to-reach areas. Reactive ion etching is a type of technology used in […]

Dry Etching: What is it?

Dry etching uses gases or physical processes to create small channels in materials, allowing for more precision than wet etching but at a higher cost. Manufacturers choose between the two based on required precision and cost. Plasma etching is used to expose materials to gaseous chemicals or physical processes. There are three types of plasma […]
