Abstract

A forced plug process for high aspect ratio structures. The process comprises the steps of providing a liquid plug in a high aspect ratio structure; increasing a gas pressure to force the liquid plug down into the high aspect ratio structure; and suddenly decreasing the gas pressure allowing the liquid plug to be ejected from the high aspect ratio structure. The process is useful for removing unwanted particles from a high aspect ratio structure, as well as for etching and coating the side walls of the structure.
