We report the design and optimized fabrication of deformed whispering gallery mode resonators in silica with solely ICP-RIE. This allows us to control the morphology of the resonators more freely and results in low surface roughness. The light was coupled into the resonator using a state of the art tapered fiber approach and we determined the Q-factor in the range of 105
