Photochemical patterning of self-assembled mono layers (SAMs) has been performed by diode pumped solid state (DPSS) 3rd harmonic Nd:$YVO_4$ laser with wavelength of 355 nm. SAMs patternings of parallel lines have subsequently been used either to generate compositional chemical patterns or fabricate microstructures by a wet etching. This paper describes a selective etching process with patterned SAMs of alkanetiolate molecules on the surface of gold. SAMs formed by the adsorption of alkanethiols onto gold substrate employs as very thin photoresists. In this paper, the influence of the interaction between the functional group of SAMs and the etching solution is studied with optimal laser irradiation conditions. The results show that hydrophobic functional groups of SAMs are more effective for selective chemical etching than the hydrophilic ones.

SBT thin films were etched at different content of $Cl_2$ in $Cl_2$/Ar or $Cl_2/N_2$(80%). As $Cl_2$ gas increased in $Cl_2$/Ar or $Cl_2/N_2$ gas plasma. the etch rate decreased. The result indicates that physical puttering of charged particles is dominant to chemical reaction in etching SBT thin films. To evaluate the etching mechanism of SBT thin films, x-ray photoelectron to chemical reaction in etching SBT thin films. To evaluate the etching mechanism of SBT thin films, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were carried out. From the result of AFM, the rms values of etched samples in Ar only or $Cl_2$ only plasma were higher than that of as-deposited, $Cl_2$/Ar and $Cl_2/N_2$ plasma. This can be illustrated by a decrease of Bi content of nonvolatile etching products (Sr-Cl and Ta-Cl), which are revealed by XPS and SIMS.

We investigate the effect of the ageing time and etching time on the etching rate of SiGe mixed etching solution, namely 1 vp HF (6%), 2 vp $H_2O_2$ (30%) and 3 vp $CH_3COOH$ (99.8%). For this etching solution, we found that the etch rate of SiGe layer is saturated after the ageing time of 72 hours, and the selectivity of $Si_{0.8}Ge_{0.2}$ layer and Si layer is 20:1 at ageing time of 72 hours. The collapse was appeared at the etching time of 9min with etching solution of after saturation ageing time.

The properties of Platinum dry etching were investigated in MICP(Magnetized Inductively Coupled Plasma). The problem with Platinum etching is the redeposition of sputtered Platinum on the sidewall. Because of the redeposits on the sidewall, the etching of patterned Platinum structure produce feature sizes that exceed the original dimension of the PR size and the etch profile has needle-like shape.[1] Generally, $Cl_2$ plasma is used for the fence-free etching.[1][2][3] The main object of this study was to investigate a new process technology for the fence-free Pt etching. Platinum was etched with Ar plasma at the cryogenic temperature and with Ar/$SF_6$ plasma at room temperature. In cryogenic etching, the height of fence was reduced to 20% at $-190^{\circ}C$ compared with that of room temp., but the etch profile was not fence-free. In Ar/$SF_6$ Plasma, chemical reaction took part in etching process. The trend of properties of Ar/$SF_6$ Plasma etching is similar to that of $Cl_2$ Plasma etching. Fence-free etching was possible, but PR selectivity was very low. A new gas chemistry for fence-free Platinum etching was proposed in this study.

The application of laser direct etching has been discussed, and believed that the process is a very powerful method for micro machining. This study is focused on the micro patterning technology using laser direct etching process with no chemical damage of the material surface. A new introduced concept of energy synergy effect for surface micro machining is the combination of chemically ion reaction and laser thermal process. The etchant can't etch the material in room temperature, and used Ar laser has not power enough to machine. But, the machining is occurred in local area of the material by the combined energy. Using this process, the material is especially prevented from chemical damage for electric property. We have tested this new concept, and achieved a line with $1{mu}m$ width. The Ar laser with 488nm wavelength was used. The material was Si(100) wafer, and etchant is KOH solution. The application and flexibility of this process is in great hopes for MEMS structures and fabrication of the micro electric device parts.

High efficiency thin film solar cells require an absorber layer with high absorption and low defect, a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) film with high transmittance of over 80% and a high conductivity. Furthermore, light can be captured through the glass substrate and sent to the light absorbing layer to improve the efficiency. In this paper, morphology formation on the surface of glass substrate was investigated by using HF, mainly classified as random etching and periodic etching. We discussed about the etch mechanism, etch rate and hard mask materials, and periodic light trapping structure.

The classical trajectory method, previously applied to the reactions of polyatomic molecules with fcc structured metal solids[S. C. Park, C. H. Cho, and C. H. Rhee, Bull. Kor. Chem. Soc., 11, $1(1990)]^1$ is extended to the collision energy dependence of the reaction of the Al solid by $SiCl_4$ molecules. We have calculated etching yields, degrees of anisotropy, kinetic energy distributions, and angular distributions for the reactions of the Al solid and compared with those for the reactions of the Cu solid. Over the range of collision energies we considered, the reactions of the Al soIid show higher etching yield and better anisotropy than the reactions of the Cu solid. Details of reaction mechanisms and the relevance of these calculations for the dry etching of CuAl alloy are discussed.

PCB 제조에서 photoresist와 Copper Clad Laminate(CCL)의 구리표면과의 부착력을 항상시키기 위하여 사용되는 soft etching제를 제조하기 위하여 과산화수소 사용을 배제하고, 유기산과 유기과산화물을 이용하여 산의 종류, 농도, 에칭시간 등에 따른 구리표면의 에칭속도, 표면 조도, 및 오염도 등을 조사하였다. 또한 에칭 후의 표면의 얼룩을 제거하기 위한 안정제의 최적 배합 및 농도도 확립하였다. 본 연구 결과 유기산의 종류 중에서는 아세트산이 초기 구리 에칭속도가 가장 빨랐으며, 농도가 0.04 M이었을 때 $0.4{\mu}m/min$이였다. 유기과산화물인 APS의 농도는 높을수록 에칭속도가 가장 빨랐으나, 표면 오염이 심각하였다. 안정제 용액의 조성도 표면 오염도에 큰 영향을 주었다. 결과적 0.04 M 아세트산, 0.1M APS에 4 g/L의 안정제(ST-1)를 첨가한 에칭액의 경우 $0.37{\mu}m/min$의 에칭속도와 표면오염이 전혀 없으며, 표면 조도도 가장 우수하였다. 즉, CCL과 photoresist와 접착력을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
