    摘要: A method for producing a radiation window includes patterning a photo resist structure onto a double-sided silicon wafer, plasma etching the silicon wafer to create an etched silicon wafer having a silicon supporting structure etched upon a first side of the double-sided silicon wafer, applying a silicon nitride thin film to the etched silicon wafer, patterning a photo resist structure and plasma etching a second side of the double-sided silicon wafer to create an initial window in the silicon nitride thin film, and wet etching the second side of the double-sided silicon wafer to release the silicon nitride thin film and supporting structure from the portion of the double-sided silicon wafer defined by the initial window.
