Abstract :
Micromachining conditions for silicon using a CW lasers and different gas ambients were reported. We report results of experimental investigation of the etch rate of silicon using a CW 532 nm laser in sulfur hexafluoride atmosphere, and three-dimensional temporal computer modeling of the process
