Hi all, I did KOH (anisotropic ) wet etching of silicon. I used 10g of KOH pellets and mixed it with 100ml of DI water at 65 deg. Then I immersed the Silicon substrate in this solution. After one minute (as it was the time limit for 1 micron depth of substrate) when I removed the substrate from this solution, it was rough on the surface and also it was darkened (Black colored rough surface). Can anyone explain me why this has happened and give me correct procedure for the KOH wet etching with composition of KOH and water? Thanks, Jeevaltha.S
