Re: silicon nitride bridges and cantilevers

It is LPCVD silicon nitride. Thickness is 70nm.
Under silicon nitide there are 20nm of LPCVD silicon dioxide.
Silicon dioxide is etched by KOH, right ? And so the underlying silicon
dioxide layer was removed. Maybe this is the cause i've lost cantilevers and
bridges ?

Best regards,
Andrea
