Abstract: Replacement chemistries for the cC4F8 passivation gas in the Bosch etch process and processes for using the same are disclosed. These chemistries have the formula CxHyFz, with 1?x<7, 1?y?13, and 1?z?13. The replacement chemistries may reduce RIE lag associated with deep silicon aperture etching.

Abstract: The plant comprises, on site, a compressed-air provision and distribution system (LA) with at least one dedicated air compressor (CO2, CO3), an air-gas production and provision system (LG) comprising an air treatment unit (S), with a reservoir R of the said air gas and normally fed by a compressor (CO1). In temporary operating mode, with one air compressor (CO2) off-line, the compressed air from the compressor (CO1) of the air gas provision system (S) is at least in part diverted (C), typically with pressure reduction (D), to sustain the production of the compressed air system (LA), the air gas then being at least in part provided by the reservoir (R).
