unusual facts about Deep reactive-ion etching


Deep reactive-ion etching

It was developed for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), which require these features, but is also used to excavate trenches for high-density capacitors for DRAM and more recently for creating through silicon via's (TSV)'s in advanced 3D wafer level packaging technology .
