{{note|This process requires more than the standard chamber clean.|reminder}}
This recipe is designed to etch HfO<sub>2</sub>. Since Hf byproducts may not be effectively removed by the standard waferless autoclean we require a post etch process to be run to generate SiCl<sub>4</sub> which is effective at cleaning Hf. The recipe "Wafer_Clean_SiCl4" needs to be run on a blank Si wafer for 5 min after etching HfO2 in this process.
==Etch Rates==
These were measured using 1cm pieces on a 6" Si carrier.
===Main Etch===
* HfO<sub>2</sub> (250°C deposition): 29 nm/min
* HfO<sub>2</sub> (250°C deposition, annealed): 21 nm/min
* GaN: 2.2 nm/min (13:1)
* SPR 955:
* ZEP:
* PMMA:
* SiO<sub>2</sub>:
