Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
The fabrication of nanoelectronic and nanooptical devices based on silicon-germanium heterostructures requires anisotropic dry etching. The Oxford Plasmalab 100 is a particularly versatile tool for this purpose, which uses an inductively coupled plasma and a cryostage for the substrate. As a result, nanostructures with perpendiculare sidewalls can be implemented.
