Smooth sidewalls

A 2 mm wide large-area etching process was performed using the Bosch Process, achieving:

  • Etch depth: 300 μm
  • Etch selectivity: 170 (over photoresist)
  • Open area: <10%

The etched profile demonstrated smooth sidewalls and a flat bottom, free from grass-like structures or pits.

This process is ideal for fabricating piezoelectric MEMS sensors, such as those requiring large-area air gaps to release piezoelectric membranes or cantilevers.
