Hi, I am trying to etch the backside of a n-silicon wafer. The back side of the wafer is not polished. Please let me know if the backside needs to be polished for a faster etch or it doesn't matter. I learnt from a previous email of the group as how to protect the front side during a long KOH etch of the back side. The etchant I planning to use is 50% by weight KOH solution at 70C. Also please let me know if you have any suggestions for me during this process. My target device is a thin diaphragm for a pressure sensor. If you can please give me any web links that go through the fab details of a pressure sensor. Thank you very much. Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo! Movies. http://au.movies.yahoo.com
