| Deeper etches need a thicker mask material. DRIE photoresist vs. silicon etch selectivity is around 1:50 or 1:100 (it varies), so a 550um through-wafer etch needs at least 10um photoresist. SiO2 vs. Si selectivity is also around 1:100 but reliably higher than photoresist selectivity (but not enough to justify the extra steps required to deposit 5um+ oxide), and metal selectivity is near-infinite (but metal masks are not allowed in sts2 as the metal sputters off and contaminates the chamber, which is not good for a tool shared by multiple projects). | Deeper etches need a thicker mask material.

| Previously, we've used 12um AZ P4620 resist hard baked at 120C for one hour. Also, etches with less than 100um of Si thickness remaining require a handle wafer in the sts2 tool. | Previously, we've used 12um AZ P4620 resist hard baked at 120C for one hour.
