platinum wet etching

Dear all,

is there anyone, who has worked on structuring platinum with wet
etchants? I have tried aqua-regia (3parts HCl, 1part HNO3) of 36 %,
but could not remove any Pt from my wafers. I am using ordinary
resist on top of the Pt for structuring.

Any suggestions on aqua regia or other chemicals that could etch
Pt are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Michael
