← ScienceWhich outcome sharply increases the etching rate as photoresist diminishes?
A)Inverse lithography mask distortions
B)Reactive ion etching breakthrough✓
C)Deep ultraviolet standing waves
D)Deposition enhanced by inhibitor loss
💡 Explanation
Reactive ion etching rate increases dramatically at pinholes as the photoresist erodes because increased plasma exposure accelerates etching through these thin spots, therefore a breakthrough event occurs rather than steady uniform material removal.
