A noninvasive system for monitoring the oxygen saturation level of a person subjected to reduced atmospheric pressure for avoiding hypoxemia. The system monitors a person's oxygen saturation level, comparing the saturation level to a predetermined level. When the measured saturation level is less than the predetermined level, the person is then supplied with an oxygen mixture for increasing the subject's oxygen saturation level to a safe level. The person's exposed reduced atmospheric pressure is also compared with a predetermined range of pressure levels. If this predetermined range of pressure levels is exceeded or maintained for a predetermined time duration, the person is then supplied with an oxygen mixture. Additionally, a device is provided for performing oxygen flight planning calculations for estimating oxygen usage for a predetermined flight plan that is based on the above system.

A chromeless phase lithography mask (30) that does not require photoresist to manufacture has a quartz substrate (32) is etched by using a plasma (38) containing one of a nitrogen augmented hydro-fluorocarbon oxygen mixture and a nitrogen augmented fluorocarbon oxygen mixture. Various hydro-fluorocarbons or fluorocarbons may be used. The nitrogen addition results in etched openings in the quartz substrate that have substantially vertical sidewalls in a uniform manner across the substrate. Surface roughness is minimized and edges of the openings are well-defined with minimal rounding. The etch rate is rendered controllable by reducing bias power without degrading a desired vertical sidewall profile.
