摘要
This paper reports the development of a fully-dry process for fabricating ultra-low-mass separation columns for a micro gas chromatograph (mu GC). This new CMOS-compatible buried-channel technique utilizes stress-free PECVD oxynitride films having a deposition rate of about 1 mu m/min and an etch rate less than 200 angstrom/min in SF6 plasma to form 25cm-long 65 mu m-ID semicircular columns on a 6mm square chip. In vacuum, such columns can achieve 100 degrees C at less than 10mW with a thermal time constant under 1 min.
