Hi Madhu

I use 10:1 BOE (Buffered Oxide etch) to etch Titanium, the
etch rate for sputtered Ti is 11kA/min. I use evaporated Ti
& my etch rate is roughly half of that.

I do not have information for Fe & Nickel, but since 10:1
BOE is fairly commonly available in most labs you might want
to determine the etch rates. Overall 10:1 BOE gives me good
& uniform results for Ti etching

Good Luck

Anupama
