Advantages

Excellent aspect ratio & profile control

100:1 ratio (10μm aperture, 1000μm depth) via improved Bosch process, with 90°±0.1° sidewall verticality, Ra 0.3μm roughness, and no "micro-trenches."

High mass-production efficiency

Up to 50μm/min etching rate (30+ wafers/hour per chamber). 3-chamber parallel design delivers 400 RF-h MTBC and 40% higher utilization. <1.0min gas switching and ±2% wafer-to-wafer error ensure batch consistency.

Low damage & high precision

Dual-frequency power offers >100:1 selectivity (vs SiO₂); 1μm laser endpoint accuracy, perfect for ultra-thin substrate TSV etching.

Wide adaptability

8-inch platform (6-inch compatible via carrier) with fast/slow Bosch mode. Supports Ar/O₂/C₄F₈/SF₆ for MEMS/power device processes.
