## [Etch Performance: 9 Factors to Consider](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/etch-performance-9-factors-to-consider)

Oct 6, 2020 | [Etching Tools](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/tag/etching-tools) 

 Etch Rate Etch rate is the measurable quantity of how fast material is removed from the surface of a wafer and is typically expressed in Å, nm, μm per unit time (e.g. Å/s, nm/min, μm/min). It is usually measured following an etch process by dividing the total thickness change by the time of the etch or by taking several thickness measurements for different etch times and using a “best fit” to the slope. This is done when it is suspected that the etch rate may not be linear with time or that there may be a delay in the onset of etching. Occasionally, it is possible to measure the etch rate in real-time....

 HDP-CVD — a chemical vapor deposition tool that utilizes an Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) source — is an increasingly popular plasma deposition tool. HDP-CVD (also known as ICP-CVD) is capable of generating higher plasma density and quality films at lower deposition temperatures than traditional PECVD machines....
