Brewer Science has a new material called protek which is specifically for KOH/TMAH etching. Go to their web site, all the info is there.

[mailto:anodle@126.com] Subject: [mems-talk] is there anything else replacing SiO2 or Si3N4 for Sietch mask (KOH)? i need etch Si substrate with KOH solution,but i found a 2000A-layer SiO2 by thermal oxidization can't resist etch (about 100 minutes),so i have to deposite a layer of Si3N4? Is there anything else ,which resists KOH while solutes in organic solvent,such as light-sensitive lacquer,or certain kind of pastern ,can take the place of SiO2 or Si3N4?
