Positive sidewall,
dry etch of silicon using BOSCH process

Hi Shimul,
I got the same problem years ago. I have solved it simply by changing
the flow ratio between SF6 and C4F8. You can find more information in
my paper:
Fei Wang, Xinxin Li, Nanxiang Guo, Yuelin Wang, and Songlin Feng, “A
silicon cantilever probe card with tip-to-pad electric feed-through
and automatic isolation of the metal coating,” Journal of
Micromechanics and Microengineering, Volume 16, Issue 7, pp.
1215-1220, 2006.
Hope it helps.
