Abstract
A process for the structuring of a substrate with structures in the micrometer to nanometer range that does not involve the provision of gaseous fluoro-organic compounds is described. The process is carried out by means of reactive ion etching using a mask arranged on the substrate and a plasma as well as fluorine-containing organic compounds, which fluorine-containing organic compound(s) is/are provided in the form of solid polymers. A process for the etching of a coating on a substrate or the surface of a substrate is also described.
