NanoETCH – Modular Plasma Etching System

The nanoETCH is a benchtop reactive ion etching (RIE) and plasma surface modification system designed for low-damage processing of advanced materials. Engineered for precise plasma control, the system combines fluorine-based RIE with ultra-low-power soft-etch capabilities, making it ideal for graphene, 2D materials, h-BN, SiO₂, silicon, and other sensitive substrates. Its benchtop design, recipe-based operation, and high process repeatability provide researchers with flexible plasma processing without relying on larger cleanroom etch tools.
