Just put it in the etchant:))))) Geometry of an etching pit in a orientation-dependent etching of Si depends on 2 things only: 1. Crystal orientation of Si-wafer (e.g. 100 or 111) 2. Solution of the etchsnt Eugenie Shelegeda ********************************************* Hi, I am trying to produce v-groove on Si using KOH. Could any one please tell me how to place the Si wafer (either verical or horizontal i.e just dropping the wafer in the solution) in the KOH solution and also could you please give me particular reasons for choosing the one. I would really appreciate if any one could reply to this mail as soon as possible. Thanks, Dhanamjaya R Guda
