    摘要: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for removing the sacrificial materials in fabrications of microstructures using a vapor phase etchant recipe having a spontaneous vapor phase chemical etchant. The vapor phase etchant recipe has a mean-free-path corresponding to the minimum thickness of the sacrificial layers between the structural layers of the microstructure. This method is of particular importance in removing the sacrificial layers underneath the structural layers of the microstructure.

    摘要: Processes for the removal of a layer or region from a workpiece material by contact with a process gas in the manufacture of a microstructure are enhanced by the ability to accurately determine the endpoint of the removal step. A vapor phase etchant is used to remove a material that has been deposited on a substrate, with or without other deposited structure thereon. By creating an impedance at the exit of an etching chamber (or downstream thereof), as the vapor phase etchant passes from the etching chamber, a gaseous product of the etching reaction is monitored; and the endpoint of the removal process can be determined. The vapor phase etching process can be flow through, a combination of flow through and pulse, or recirculated back to the etching chamber
