silicon rich nitride wet etch

Hi

I have to etch a 2000Ã… thick silicon rich nitride film under a
photoresist
(AZ5209) mask. I need to get a nitride mask since the next step is
electrochemical etching in EToH:HF 3:7. I am currently RIE etching it, but
the process is very time consuming.

I tried wet etch both HF:H2O 1:10 AND HF:HCL 1:1 but the resist gets peeled
off in few minutes.

Do you have any alternative recipe to suggest?

Thanks
