    摘要: A nitride etch process particularly useful when integrated with a silicon trench etch needing a sloping silicon surface adjacent to the interface between the silicon and an oxide layer intermediate the silicon and nitride. The nitride etch process is a plasma process having an etching gas mixture of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and trifluoromethane (CHF3) although nitrogen or oxygen may be added for additional controls. The trifluoromethane is believed to create a polymer passivation on the sidewalls of the hole being etched which, when the etch reaches the oxide-silicon interface, protects the interface and underlying silicon. The nitride etch may proceed through the oxide or a separate fluorocarbon-based oxide etching step may be performed before a bromine-based etch of the silicon starts.

    摘要: The present invention 10 discloses a cockpit windshield with photosensitive glass that automatically and instantaneously converts from transparent state to dark state in response to, e.g., lightning strikes 16. The user may disable the photosensitive windshield by means of a power switch 22. In a preferred element of the photosensitive windshield, a variable control module 20 can be used to set parameters to suit each application and to accommodate user preference. In addition to a power switch 20 that enables and disables the photosensitive circuit, the control module provides means for the user to set shade capacity (opacity in dark state) 24, response rate 26 and light sensitivity 28. The control module 20 and windshield 12 are interconnected by means of a wire harness 32 or wireless transmitter/receiver. The system is powered by an external AC or DC power source 34. In another preferred element, the photosensitive control system provides means to control and protect multiple windows 36.

    摘要: Methods for recess etching are provided herein that advantageously improve lateral to vertical etch ratio requirements, thereby enabling deeper recess etching while maintaining relatively shallow vertical etch depths. Such enhanced lateral etch methods advantageously provide benefits for numerous applications where lateral to vertical etch depth ratios are constrained or where recesses or cavities are desired to be formed. In some embodiments, a method of recess etching includes providing a substrate having a structure formed thereon; forming a recess in the substrate at least partially beneath the structure using a first etch process; forming a selective passivation layer on the substrate; and extending the recess in the substrate using a second etch process. The selective passivation layer is generally formed on regions of the substrate adjacent to the structure but generally not within the recess. The first and second etch processes may be the same or different.
