Silicon Etch System

University College Cork (UCC)

Due to the high rate of utilisation of the present MEMS Silicon etch system at Tyndall, a requirement has been identified to source a second deep silicon etch system for MEMS applications (Microsystems Fabrication) in the CFF. This system must match or enhance the current Silicon Etch capabilities at Tyndall.
The system must be versatile and allow for upgrades as our needs change. In addition, ongoing commitment to support process development projects, as well as prompt field service support must be guaranteed.
To assist potential vendors, Tyndall has drawn up the following process and mechanical specifications for this machine, which are considered as targets to be achieved by the manufacturer. The specifications detailed in this document are for functional deep silicon etch system capable of anisotropic through-wafer etching.
