What is the difference between chemically reactive ion etching and dry plasma etching?
The most notable difference between reactive ion etching and isotropic plasma etching is the etch direction. While RIE provides a much stronger etch, it also provides a directional etch. The plasma will etch in a downward direction with almost no sideways etching.
What is the difference between RIE and DRIE?
What distinguishes DRIE from RIE is etch depth: Practical etch depths for RIE (as used in IC manufacturing) would be limited to around 10 µm at a rate up to 1 µm/min, while DRIE can etch features much greater, up to 600 µm or more with rates up to 20 µm/min or more in some applications.
What is RIE in fabrication?
Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) is an etching technology used in micro and nano fabrication wherein plasma is used to remove materials deposited on the substrate. High energy ions from the plasma attack the wafer surface and react with it to remove the film.
What is Rie used for?
Reactive ion etching (RIE) is a type of plasma etch technology used in specialty semiconductor markets for device manufacturing. Chemically reactive species (ions) are accelerated toward the substrate (usually a silicon wafer), to remove a specific deposited material.
Is Rie a directional?
RIE is based on a combination of chemical and physical etching which allows isotropic and anisotropic (uni-directional) material removal. The etching process is carried out in a chemically reactive plasma containing positively and negatively charged ions generated from the gas that is pumped into the reaction chamber.
What is the principle advantage of DRIE?
The key differentiation between DRIE and conventional ICP-RIE, is that DRIE enables faster etch rates and the formation of deep etch structures.
Is RIE anisotropic or isotropic?
RIE is based on a combination of chemical and physical etching which allows isotropic and anisotropic (uni-directional) material removal.

What is the difference between ICP and CCP?
OBJECTIVE Cerebral critical closing pressure (CCP) has been defined as an arterial pressure threshold below which arterial vessels collapse. Hypothetically this is equal to intracranial pressure (ICP) plus the contribution from the active tone of cerebral arterial smooth muscle.
