Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007003473A1] The reactor (11) for carrying out a method for etching a stack of masked wafers (1) with the aid of an etching gas, preferably a chlorotrifluoride (ClF<SUB>3</SUB>), is characterised in that it comprises a device for carrying out a plasma processing device (15). The inventive method for etching masked wafers with the aid of the etching gas, preferably a chlorotrifluoride (ClF<SUB>3</SUB>), consists in pre-processing the wafers by a plasma process, prior to the etching process, wherein said methods are characterised in that the pre-processing of wafers and the process for etching the stack of wafers are carried out in a reactor chamber.
