Summary : Dry processing methods are chemical processes that use a plasma to drive the reaction. Dry etching is the major segment of dry processing. Today, virtually all etching processes are dry processes. Typically, a chemical reactive gas, physical abrasion or a combination of the two are used to perform this process. Etching occurs after the resist processing stage. It involves the selective removal of films not covered by the photoresist to form interconnects, contacts and vias. The type of films ... See More
