Line 32:
DRIE of glass requires high plasma power, which makes it difficult to find suitable mask materials for truly deep etching. Polysilicon and nickel are used for 10–50 µm etched depths. In DRIE of polymers, Bosch process with alternating steps of SF<sub>6</sub> etching and C<sub>4</sub>F<sub>8</sub> passivation take place. Metal masks can be used, however they are expensive to use since several additional photo and deposition steps are always required. Metal masks are not necessary however on various substrates (Si [up to 800 µm], InP [up to 40 µm] or glass [up to 12 µm]) if using chemically amplified negative resists.
Gallium ion implantion can be used as etch mask in cryo-DRIE. Combined nanofabrication process of focused ion beam and cryo-DRIE was first reported by N Chekurov ''et al'' in their article "The fabrication of silicon nanostructures by local gallium implantation and cryogenic deep reactive ion etching".<ref>{{cite
