... etching behavior. As a delayering technique, RIE can be limited by the material of interest particularly if it can contaminate RIE chambers, such as copper, making it difficult to use for fabrication intended systems. The P-FIB is a state-of-the-art dry etching tool that sources ions from a xenon plasma...
