Given his requirement of vertical sidewalls with >12:1 aspect ratio, I don't think HNA is even an option. KOH etch is pretty much the only reasonable choice. However, he needs to be reminded that he will have to align the crystalline faces well with the features on his mask and that he will only get vertical walls in one direction.
