Try ammonium per sulphate (20% approximately). It works beautifully. We use that regularly cheers Muralidhar >>> yoonsw@ime.a-star.edu.sg 05/21/03 11:02AM >>> I'm looking for the selective Ni etchant which does not attack Cu. I tried with HNO3. It works with more than 100um dimension. But now I have to work with 50um dimension. So undercutting is too severe. After etching only 30um left. There was about 10um undercutting. Actually Ni is NiV. Thanks in advance.
