Polyimide is often used as a sacrificial layer material to make floating structure. Polyimide is also divided into photosensitive and non-photosensitive type; photosensitive polyimide currently has more negative photoresist and poor performance in many ways. Compared with photosensitive polyimide, the non-photosensitive type has low stress, stable performance and other advantages, so non-photosensitive polyimide has been chosen as a sacrificial layer material. To achieve the graphical function and release sacrificial layer, A deeply research was made in this dissertation makes on wet etching and dry etching. By controlling the wet etching process of prebake condition, exposure and developing time, and oxygen dry etching process of etching power, bias voltage and other key process parameters, a good sacrificial layer graph and etching effect have been got. Finally, it can be concluded that when the prebake conditions for 105°C, 8min and times of exposure and developing were 11s and 29s, the non-photosensitive polyimide wet etching effect is the best; when the etching power is 1000w, an oxygen flux rate is 50sccm, the reaction pressure is 30mTorr, the bias voltage is 140v, oxygen dry etching has a good effect.

Polymeric Disperse Red 1 (DR1)/SU-8 electro-optic (EO) switch incorporating inverted-rib waveguide structure is designed and fabricated by all-wet etching process. The guest-host EO material DR1/SU-8 has been successfully synthetized and its optical properties are characterized in detail. The DR1/SU-8 material presents a low processing cost, an excellent photostability and a large EO coefficient of 15.4 pm/V. The characteristic parameters of both the inverted-rib waveguide and the coplanar waveguide electrodes are carefully designed and simulated. By all-wet etching process, the optimized Mach–Zehnder interferometer switch is successfully fabricated with a lower fiber-to-fiber insertion loss of 9.6 dB. The switch rise time and fall time are 322 ns and 294 ns, respectively.

AbstractHere we report a breakthrough in the fabrication of a long lifetime transmon qubit. We use tantalum films as the base superconductor. By using a dry etching process, we obtained transmon qubits with a best T1 lifetime of 503 μs. As a comparison, we also fabricated transmon qubits with other popular materials, including niobium and aluminum, under the same design and fabrication processes. After characterizing their coherence properties, we found that qubits prepared with tantalum films have the best performance. Since the dry etching process is stable and highly anisotropic, it is much more suitable for fabricating complex scalable quantum circuits, when compared to wet etching. As a result, the current breakthrough indicates that the dry etching process of tantalum film is a promising approach to fabricate medium- or large-scale superconducting quantum circuits with a much longer lifetime, meeting the requirements for building practical quantum computers.

Catalyst plays a crucial role in determining the characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) produced by using thermal catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD). It is essential to investigate how the catalyst preparation affects the characteristics of CNTs because certain application demands specific size for optimum performance. This study reports the effect of the types of catalyst and the duration of the catalyst pre-treatment (wet etching time, dry etching time and ball milling) on the diameter of CNTs. The synthesized CNTs samples were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Wet etching (2M hydrofluoric acid) time was varied from 1 to 2.5 hrs and the diameter range was found to be in the range of 23 to 52 nm. The diameter range for CNTs produced for 3 hrs and 5 hrs of dry etching treatment (with ammonia gas) are 38 to 51 nm and 23 to 48 nm, respectively. The diameter size of CNTs produced using Ni (14 to 25 nm) was found to be smaller than Fe (38 to 51 nm). There is a significant decrease in the diameter of CNTs by prolonging the wet etching period. Shorter and curly shaped CNTs can also be obtained by using Ni as the catalyst. Keywords: chemical vapor deposition, carbon nanotubes, catalyst pretreatment

In this paper, a simple and facile technique for manufacturing glass-based microfluidic chips was developed. Instead of using expensive dry etching technology, the standard UV lithography and wet chemical etching technique was used to fabricate microchannels on a K9 glass substrate. The fabrication process of microfluidic chip including vacuum evaporation, annealing, lithography, and BHF (HF-NH4F-H2O) wet etching were investigated. Through series experiments, we found that anneal was the critical factor for chip quality. As a representative example, a microfluidic channel with 20 m of depth, and 80 m of width was successfully prepared, and the channel surfaces are quite smooth. These results present a simple, low cost, flexible and easy way to fabricate glass-based microfluidic chips.
