Kevin, I have a bad experience. When I did TMAH etching at 40C, I used a Al foil to cover the 2000ml beaker in order to keep the temperature stabe. Finally, the foil turn grey (black) and lots of dusts drop off into solution. I guess the TMAH evapor oxide al. but i am not sure. Good luck, Lydia Quoting Kevin Duan: > Hi, dear all > > I am planning to do TMAH etching of silicon wafer with aluminum > pattern on it.
