BRK Etch Core

Overview of Services

Wet and dry etch capabilities can be applied to almost any materials used in the cleanroom. Two deep reactive ion etchers (DRIE), two bosch silicon etchers, a simple reactive ion etcher, and an oxygen barrel asher anchor the dry-etching capabilities. Several conventional acid and solvent hoods, as well as two high temperature-acid hoods, provide space for wet etches and cleans.
